Installing a Floppy Drive into the Converted Hard
Drive Bay on Altos R710 Server System
The floppy drive conversion kit can only be installed into a system that
is using the SCSI backplane. You will know if you have one of these
backplanes installed if you can install hot-swap SCSI drives. The floppy
drive conversion kit must be installed in the left, top hard drive bay,
directly under the slimline drive bay.
1.Power down the server and unplug all peripheral devices and the AC
power cable.
2.Remove the chassis cover.
3.Remove the front bezel if it is installed.
4.Remove the upper left hot-swap hard drive carrier from the chassis.
5.Remove the screws that attach the slide rails to the floppy drive
conversion kit carrier.

with the underside of the drive facing down.
