Installing a Floppy Drive
1. If you are replacing a drive and the new drive does not have the bracket rails attached, remove the rails from the old drive by removing the two screws
that secure each rail to the drive. Attach the bracket to the new drive by aligning the screw holes on the drive with the screw holes on the bracket rails
and then inserting and tightening all four screws (two screws on each rail).
2. Gently slide the drive into place until the tabs securely click into position.
3. Attach the power and data cables to the floppy drive.
4. Connect the other end of the data cable to the connector labeled FLOPPY on the system board.
5. If you are installing a new floppy drive rather than replacing a drive, remove the front-panel inserts.
6. Check all cable connections, and fold cables out of the way to provide airflow for the fan and cooling vents.
7. Close the computer cover.
