Installing the 3.5-inch Drive Carrier
Follow these steps to reinstall the drive carrier in the computer:
1.
Position the drive carrier above the computer at a 45 degree
angle. Make sure the front of the diskette drive faces the
front of the computer and the drive connectors face the
back.
2.
Lower the carrier into the computer and slide it forward
until the diskette drive fits squarely into its slot in the front
bezel.
3.
Align the four screw holes in the drive carrier with the holes
on top of the 5.25-inch drive bay and the side of the riser
board brace, as shown in the previous illustration. Then
secure the carrier with the retaining screws.
4.
Reconnect the drive and power cables to the 3.5-inch
drive(s). If you removed a drive that you are not replacing
in the computer and it is the only drive on its drive cable,
disconnect the drive cable from its main system board
connector.
5.
Reinstall any expansion boards you removed from the
computer; see Chapter 4.
6.
Replace the computer’s cover; see Chapter 4.
7.
See “Post-installation Setup” in Chapter 4 for instructions on
configuring your system with the new drive configuration.
