4. Turn your notebook back over and install the floppy disk drive module.

5. Firmly push the floppy disk drive module straight into the bay until the latch

"clicks" into place and is firmly seated. If you don't hear the "click," try it

External Floppy Disk Drive

Your floppy disk drive module can be used as an external drive by using the

optional adapter cable to connect to the parallel port at the back of your notebook.

You can then have a CD-ROM in the modular option bay and have the use of the

floppy disk drive, which normally resides in the modular option bay. It is not

necessary to reboot the system for it to recognize the connection.

You can remove your notebook's hard disk drive (HDD) from your notebook for

replacement, or to switch between optional additional hard drives.
