Reassembling the Diskette Adapter

adapter around the diskette drive.

Ensure that the holes are aligned, and reinstall
the screws 2 that secure the diskette drive to
the adapter.
2. Snap the drive bezel into place 3. Press
inward on each side of the bracket brace 4,
and lower the bezel until it snaps into place.
Ensure that the guide screws 5 are installed in
the adapter.
