Installing and Removing a Floppy Disk Drive
This section explains how to install and remove your floppy disk drive.
Since a floppy disk drive comes installed in your Personal Workstation,
the only time you will need to install a floppy disk drive is when you need
to replace a faulty one.
WARNING Turn the Personal Workstation off and unplug the power cord
before installing or removing the floppy disk drive.
CAUTION Floppy disk drives are susceptible to mechanical and electrical shock.
When handling the drive, always wear the static-grounding strap that
came with the floppy disk drive kit. Always handle the drive carefully.
