diskette is required.

represents a diskette drive in the UltraBay II.
FDD-2
represents the port replicator, docking station, or
diskette drive attached through the external diskette drive
connector.

9. If the controller test runs without errors, the drive
read/write tests start automatically.
10. If the drive test detects an error, FRU code 50 for
FDD-1 or 51 for FDD-2 appears. If the diskette itself
is known to be good, replace the drive.
11. If FDD-2 test detects an error, move the drive into the
computer's UltraBay II, if possible, and test it again as
FDD-1.
If no errors occur in the FDD-1 position, the drive is
not defective. If the drive is attached to the port
replicator, go to “Common Devices Checkout” on
page 681 to isolate the replicator problem.
Otherwise, go on to the next step.
