Installing the Diskette Drive
1. Remove the new 3.5-inch diskette drive from its protective wrapper, and place it
component-side up on an antistatic surface. Record the drive model and serial
numbers in your equipment log.
2. Set any jumpers or switches according to the drive manufacturer's instructions.
3. Place the drive carrier on the component-side of the drive.
4. Attach the carrier to the drive by sliding the drive toward the closed/back end of
the carrier. The drive is fully seated when it rests against the square brackets that
form the back of the carrier.
5. Position the carrier so that the two protruding notches fit into the corresponding
slits in the frame. Slide the assembly toward the front of the system to engage the
notches. Make sure the front of the drive fits correctly in the front opening of the
system. When properly positioned, the carrier notches extend slightly into the
interior of the 5.25-inch drive bays and the threaded hole in the carrier aligns with
the threaded hole in the frame.
6. Secure the assembly to the 5.25-inch bay with the screw you removed earlier;
tighten the screw firmly (6.0 inch-pounds).
7. Connect the signal and power cables to the drive. The red stripe on the signal cable
must face toward the center of the drive.
8. Reinstall the access cover using the original screws.
9. Run the SSU to specify that the diskette drive is installed in the system.
