Replacing the 3.5-inch diskette or CD-ROM

drive

Both the 3.5-inch diskette drive and 5.25-inch CD-ROM drives are secured

in the chassis by a set of removable rails. The rails allow the drives to slide

into and out of the guides in the front bays.

Turn off the system and disconnect the power cord.

Open the case and remove the front bezel, observing the “Static

Electricity Precautions” on page 2.

Locate the 3.5-inch diskette or 5.25-inch CD-ROM drive. If you are

removing the 3.5-inch diskette, you may need to partially remove the

CD-ROM drive to get to the 3.5-inch diskette drive.

Disconnect the power and data cables from the back of the drive,

noting their location and orientation. (You will reconnect these cables

after you install the new drive.)

Press inward on both front rail extensions to disengage the locking

tabs, then push on the back of the drive to move it slightly out of the

bay. Pull the drive out of the chassis.
