Figure 1: Rear plastic removal
(10) Remove the floppy drives (Item 50).

Each of the floppy drives stands off the base on four pillars (Item 10). To remove the floppy
drives along with the pillars from the base metalwork, turn the FileStore unit on its side.

Support the floppy drives while unscrewing the eight Posidriv screws (Item 62).

Remove the two ribbon cable assemblies and power cable from the rear of the floppy drives.

Slide both drives back from the front panel until adequate clearance is achieved to allow them to
be lifted clear.

The mounting pillars can then be unscrewed.
(11) Remove Power Supply (Item 37).

The upper surface of the psu is covered by an insulating material (Item 36) fixed by four
Posidriv screws (Item 63) to the psu. Unscrew these four screws and remove the insulator.

Between the insulator and the psu are four small plastic spacers (Item 11) used to ensure the pcb
does not pierce the insulator. Remove these.

The psu is now held by various cable assemblies. Unplug the 4-way disc drive power cable from
the floppy drives.
