Removing the Diskette Drive

1. Observe the safety and ESD precautions at the beginning of this chapter.

drive bay.

5. Slide the carrier toward the back of the chassis to disengage the tabs from the slots

in the bottom of the 5.25-inch drive bay.

6. Remove the carrier and drive assembly from the chassis, and place it

component-side up on an antistatic surface.

7. Remove the drive from the carrier by sliding the drive forward, toward (and out of)

the front of the carrier. Set the carrier aside.

8. Place the drive in an antistatic protective wrapper if you are not reinstalling the

same drive.
