4-48 Disassembly and Reassembly
Diskette Drive and Carrier Assembly
Your server system contains a 3.5-inch diskette drive housed in a carrier located
inside the front of the server chassis.
To remove the diskette drive and carrier assembly, perform the following
procedures:
1. Prepare your system for disassembly. See Preparing Your System for
Disassembly and Reassembly earlier in this chapter.
2. Remove the left-hand side access panel of the system chassis following
procedures previously described in this chapter.
!
CAUTION
For proper cooling and airflow, do not operate the system
with the side access panel removed. Always replace the
panel before powering on the system.
3. Disconnect the data cable connector and power cable connector from their
mating connectors on the rear of the diskette drive.
4. Remove and save the two screws (A) that secure the diskette drive carrier to
the front of the chassis. See Figure 4-46.
5. Slide the drive carrier towards the rear of the chassis, until it comes free and
place it on an antistatic surface.
