2.9 Installing CD-ROM and floppy drives

The slim-type CD-ROM drive and slim-type floppy drive are contained in an external combo box. You will need these drives when installing the drivers, utilities, and software applications. The drives are not hot-swappable so you should install them before powering up the system. However, you can detach the cage from the chassis when you do not need it anymore. No need to shut down the system.

NOTE

The combo box and drives are NOT standard shipping items in the AP1600R system package. These items are sold separately.

1.When shipped, the rails of the combo box are attached to the sides as shown. Remove the

screw closer to the front and set it aside.

3.Turn the rail 180 degrees. The screw hole on the rail should align to the hole on the side of the combo box.

4.Secure the rail with the screw that you removed earlier.

Tighten the other screw.
