Adding a second diskette drive
You can add a second 3.5-inch diskette drive. You do not have to use any
screws to add the diskette drive, but you need to purchase a diskette drive
connector cable that supports two devices.
To add a second diskette drive:
1 Turn off the computer, disconnect the power cord, modem cord (if
installed), and all external peripheral devices.
2 Remove the right panel. (See “Removing the side panels” on page 19 and
observe the “Static electricity precautions” on page 17.)
3 Release the drive cage and slide it forward in the chassis until the release
button snaps into the forward locking hole.
4 Release the drive locking tab from the empty diskette drive bay by turning
the knob on the tab counter-clockwise to the unlock position, then
remove the tab from the drive cage.
