To remove the diskette drive, follow these steps:
1. Remove the front bezel.
2. Remove the system fan assembly.
3. If necessary, open the top panels of the system unit.
4. Inside the chassis, detach the diskette drive interface and power cables
from the interposer card at the back of the diskette drive bracket
(see Figure 4-6).
5. Using a Phillips-head screwdriver, detach the control panel from the front
of the chassis and fold it to the right of the diskette drive slot.
6. Remove the screw at the front of the diskette-drive bracket, and pull the
bracket/drive assembly out of the slot.
The replacement drive and bracket come preassembled. When installing the
assembly in the diskette drive slot, position the flat side of the diskette drive
bracket against the left wall of the diskette drive slot (make sure the control-
panel ribbon cable is placed to the right of the drive assembly). Slide the
assembly into the chassis with the bracket flat against the slot wall. When the
assembly is about 2 inches into the chassis, the edges of the bracket should
start engaging the slide tracks on the slot wall. If the bracket does not engage
the tracks, remove the assembly and try again.
