Apollo 150, 120 user manual CD-ROM/DVD-ROM/FDD Module Assembly, Internal CD-ROM/FDD Assembly

User Manual version 2207

5.9. CD-ROM/DVD-ROM/FDD Module Assembly

The APOLLO provides enough space to accommodate a CD-ROM or CD-RW or DVD-ROM and a floppy disk drive. The CD-ROM or DVD-ROM drive used in the APOLLO 120/150 is not the common 5.25” drive seen in computer stores. Rather, it is a slim type drive widely used in notebook computers.

The APOLLO 120/150 can connect to an external floppy disk drive or an internal slim type floppy disk drive, depending on the system requirement.

Please note that either an external floppy disk drive or internal floppy disk drive can be used.

5.9.1.Internal CD-ROM/FDD Assembly

The following steps show the ways to install an internal CD-ROM or DVD-ROM and floppy disk drive.

1.Make the chassis’ lower side near you. Now, from your point of view, the CD-ROM/FDD module is to be installed on the left side of the chassis.

2.Refer to Figure 5-10. Attach the CD-ROM board (4) to the slim CD-ROM (2) and fix them together with 2 screws.

PLEASE NOTE THAT THE 2 SCREWS NEED TO BE INCASED WITH 2

PLASTIC WASHERS (3) TO PREVENT SHORT CIRCUITRY.

1.Insert the CD-ROM module to the CD-ROM/FDD bracket (9) and fix them together with 2 screws.

2.There is a 40-pin CD-ROM cable. Connect one end to the CD-ROM board.

3.Attach one end of the 26-pin FDD flat cable (8) to the slim floppy disk drive (7) first.

4.Insert the FDD module to the CD-ROM/FDD bracket and fix them together with 2 flat-head screws.

5.There is a small metal bracket (1) used to firmly fix the CD-ROM and FDD modules to the CD-ROM/FDD bracket. This small bracket is to prevent the CD-ROM/FDD from moving when installed to the FDD/CD-ROM bracket.
