Replacing the diskette drive

The 3.5-inch diskette drive is attached to a drive cage with two screws. The
drive cage is secured to the chassis by a tab. You do not have to remove any
screws to take the drive cage out of the chassis.
To replace the diskette drive:
1
Turn off the computer, disconnect the power cord, and disconnect the
modem cord, if your computer has a modem.
2
Open the case by following the instructions on page 12, observing the
static electricity precautions on page 11.
3
Disconnect the power and data cables from the back of the diskette drive,
noting the location and orientation of the cables. (You will reconnect the
cables after you install the new drive.)
4
Press down and hold the locking tab on the drive cage. Then pull the
drive cage towards the rear of the chassis and lift it out of the chassis.
