This edge is rounded to prevent cutting of the cables. See Figure 5-30. Next, secure the floppy disk drive bay’s rear cover using the T-15 Torx/slotted screw. You should tighten the screws using 6 inch-pounds of torque. When you replace the rear cover, the ferrite bead on the data cable must remain inside of the floppy disk drive bay’s rear cover.
