2Remove the drive panel (see "Removing the Drive Panel" on page 81).

3Gently slide the drive into place until you feel a click or feel the drive securely installed.

NOTE: If you are installing a new floppy drive rather than replacing a drive, remove the drive panel insert where you want the drive to be installed, insert the shoulder screws located in the back of the drive panel insert into the drive, and then slide the drive back into place.

4Attach the power and data cables to the floppy drive.

5Connect the other end of the data cable to the connector labeled "FLOPPY1" on the system board (see "System Board Components" on page 65) and route the cable through the clip on the shroud.
