Removing the Diskette Drive

See Figure 40.

1.Observe the safety and ESD precautions at the beginning of this chapter.

2.Remove the peripheral bay (see “Removing the Peripheral Bay” on page 117).

3.Remove retaining screw at the front side of the diskette drive.

✏NOTE: Cabling for Diskette and CD-ROM Drives

You cannot remove the diskette drive from the chassis by simply removing its cables from the peripheral bay backplane. The diskette drive power cable attaches to the back of the CD-ROM drive. A power cable for both drives exits the CD-ROM and connects to the peripheral bay backplane. Therefore, you must remove cables from the drives themselves to remove a particular drive.

4.Disconnect the power and data cables from the diskette drive.

5.Pull the diskette drive forward and out of the peripheral bay.
