Installing a Floppy Drive or Media Card Reader (Tower Computer)
1. Follow the procedures in Before You Begin.
2. Remove the computer cover (see Removing the Computer Cover).
3. Remove the front panel. See Removing the Front Panel.
4. If you are installing a new floppy drive or Media Card Reader, remove the drive-panel insert (see Removing a Drive-Panel Insert) and remove the
shoulder screws from the inside of the drive-panel insert. Attach the screws to the new drive.
5. Gently slide the drive into place in the 3.5-inch bay until you hear a click or feel the drive securely installed.
6. If you are installing a floppy drive:
a. Connect the power cable from to the back of the floppy drive.
b. Connect the data cable to the back of the floppy drive.
7. If you are installing a Media Card Reader, connect the data cable to the back of the Media Card Reader.
8. Connect the other end of the data cable to the system board connector labeled "FLOPPY" (for a floppy drive) or "FLEXBAY" (for a Media Card Reader). To
locate system board connectors, see System Board Components.
NOTICE: In a tower configuration with 4 hard drives, there can only be one floppy drive or Media Card Reader which must be installed in the lower 3.5-
inch drive bay. In this case, the 4th hard drive (which must be a SATA drive) will occupy the upper 3.5-inch drive bay.
