NOTE: Cabling for Diskette and CD-ROM Drives
You cannot remove the diskette drive from the chassis by simply removing its
cables from the peripheral bay backplane. The diskette drive power cable
attaches to the back of the CD-ROM drive. A power cable for both drives exits
the CD-ROM and connects to the peripheral bay backplane. Therefore, you
must remove cables from the drives themselves to remove a particular drive.
4. Disconnect the power and data cables from the diskette drive.
5. Pull the diskette drive forward and out of the peripheral bay.
