Installing a Floppy Drive
1. Follow the procedures in Before You Begin.
2. Remove the computer cover (see Removing the Computer Cover).
3. Remove the drive panel (see Removing the Drive Panel).
4. If this is a new drive installation:
l Remove the drive panel insert where you want to install the drive (see Removing the Drive-Panel Insert).
l Remove the four shoulder screws from the drive panel insert.
l Install two of the shoulder screws on each side of the drive.
5. Gently slide the drive into place until you feel a click or feel the drive securely installed.
6. Attach the power and data cables to the floppy drive.
7. Connect the other end of the data cable to the connector labeled "FLOPPY1" on the system board (see System Board Components) and route the cable
through the clip on the processor shroud.
8. Check all cable connections, and fold cables out of the way to avoid blocking airflow between the fan and cooling vents. Insert the floppy data cable into
the clip on top of the processor shroud.
9. Replace the drive panel (see Installing the Drive Panel).
10. Replace the computer cover (see Installing the Computer Cover).
NOTE: In the event that the replacement or new floppy drive does not have shoulder screws, use the shoulder screws located within the drive panel
insert. Otherwise, reuse the screws attached to the drive that you are replacing.
