9.2 Installing a Floppy Disk Drive

9.2 Installing a Floppy Disk Drive
The internal floppy disk drive is not a SCSI drive, but it does have a drive
select number, which should be set at 0. This number is preassigned at the
factory; you will probably not need to change it, but you can, if you wish, check
the number before you install the drive. If the workstation does not seem to
recognize the floppy drive, however, or if the message
on your screen, the floppy drive number may be incorrectly set.

9.2.1 To Check the Drive Select Number

1. Remove the drive from its metal mounting bracket and from its perforated
floppy drive shield.
2. The drive select switch is on the right side of the drive (as you face the
front of the drive), toward the rear. Small numbers are printed on the
green surface next to the switch. The switch should be set at 0.

9.2.2 To Install the Floppy Drive

1. If the workstation software is running, shut it down: Type shutdown -h
now and press Return.
2. Turn off your workstation by pressing the 0 on the on/off switch on the
back of the system unit.
3. Open the system unit. (See ''Section 1.1.3.1'' on page 1-6.)
