Device Cage (3.5”)

The 3.5” device cage is used for mounting one 3.5” floppy device (such as a 1.44MB floppy, LS-120, MO, or ZIP disk drive) and two hard disk drives. Before devices can be installed or removed from the 3.5” device cage, you must remove the device cage from the chassis.

3.5” Device Cage Removal Procedure:

1. Remove the stabilizing link bar, if not already removed.

2.Rotate the locking lever clockwise using a screwdriver inserted from the top of the lever. (It is very difficult to turn it with your fingers, it requires that you pull the lever outward first before turning it.)

3.Slide backward to remove the 3.5” device cage.

4.Mount the 3.5” device cage using the reverse procedure. (Locking the lever is possible with your fingers.)

Device Cage (3.5”) Floppy Mounting

The 3.5” device cage has a slot and three screw holes on each side for a 3.5” floppy device on the top most space. The floppy must be aligned so that the first hole matches.
