2.Remove the front panel. See “Removing the Front Panel:” on page 8.

3.Remove the 3.5/5.25-inch bracket. See “Removing the 3.5/5.25-inch Bracket:” on page 9.

4.Through the holes (A - one on each side of the bracket) gently pull the tabs (B) to remove the 5.25-inch plastic adaptation kit. Pull on the 3.5-inch plastic slot cache to remove it, and proceed the same way with the corresponding metallic shield on the FDD bracket. Replace the 5.25-inch plastic adaptation kit.

5.Slide the floppy disk drive into the lower slot of the bracket until the three screw holes (A - two on the left side and one on the right side) are lined up, and secure three screws.

6.Replace the 3.5/5.25-inch bracket. See “Replacing the 3.5/5.25-inch Bracket:” on page 11.

7.Connect the data cable to the floppy disk drive with the marked edge toward pin 1 of the drive and all cables to the installed 3.5- and 5.25-inch devices. See “Cabling the Device” on page 32.

Note: The installation of a second diskette drive requires the replacement of the existing diskette drive data cable with a three-connector cable in order to plug both floppy disk drives to the floppy disk drive connector on the motherboard.

8.Connect the power cable to the drive. See “Cabling the Device” on page 32.

9.Replace the front panel. See “Replacing the Front Panel:” on page 8.

10.Replace the right side door. See “Replacing the Right Side Door:” on page 6.
