Diskette drive
Drive considerations:
• Your xSeries 440 server supports the installation of up to two diskette drives.
• If only one diskette drive is installed, it must be installed in the left drive bay.
Complete the following steps to remove and install a diskette drive in your server:
1. Review the information in “Before you begin” on page 9 and “Safety Information”
on page 11.
Attention: The IDE drives installed in your server are not hot-swappable.
2. Turn off the server and disconnect the power cord from the back of the server.
3. Push the diskette drive eject button to the right.
4. Using the tab, pull the diskette drive partially out of the server; then, grasp the
drive and remove it from the server.
5. Install the new diskette drive:
a. Inspect the drive for any signs of damage.
b. Slide the drive into the left drive bay until it stops.
Note: In the unlikely event that no other IDE drives are installed, the diskette
drive must be installed in the right external removable media bay.
6. If you have other options to install or remove, do so now. Otherwise, connect the
power cords and turn on the server.
