Installing Your Floppy and CD Drives
NOTE:
Please refer to your disk drive manufacturer’s installation procedures to ensure
proper installation of the drive.
Depending on the size of your floppy disk drive, you will install it in either the 3.5” bays
located just below the hard disk drive, or the 5.25” bays located near the top of the case.
Your CD drive will be installed in one of the 5.25” drive bays.
1. Remove the front plastic bay cover of the case.
2. Beneath the plastic bay cover will be a thin plate of metal that has been perforated
around the edges. Remove this plate by working it back and forth until it completely
snaps off.
3. Make sure that the green-handled floppy latch above the corresponding drive bay is
in the “Unlocked” position. When unlocked, the arrow on the drive locking
mechanism will be lined up with the arrow beside the locked icon. (The
locked/unlocked icons are etched onto the locking mechanism above the green tabs)
4. Slide the disk drive into place, making sure that it is flush with the front panel of
the computer and that the screw hole on the disk drive lines up with the hole in the
bay.
5. Move the green-handled floppy latch into the “Locked” position to secure the drive.
NOTE:
If you are going to be moving the computer case, StarTech.com recommends
securing the disk drive with a screw to prevent damage.
6. Connect your disk drive to your motherboard and power supply as directed in their
respective installation guides.
7. Repeat Steps 1 to 6 for any other disk drives you want to install in their respective
5.25” or 3.5” bays.
