Floppy Disk Drive (1.44MB)

The 1.44MB floppy disk drive requires signal and power connections. The

power connection is easy since it only fits one way and a latch is available

to secure it when fully inserted. The signal cable is tricky because the cable

fits in both orientations as well as shifted one direction or the other. The

signal cable also has no latch to determine when full insertion is made.

Align the red stripes of the signal and power cables so that they face each

other. Carefully insert the connector while visually watching the progress

so that proper alignment and insertion is made. Be careful, bent pins are

very difficult to straighten.

The 5.25" device cage is used for mounting three 5.25" devices (such as

CD-ROM, tape, or hard disk drives). The 5.25" device cage can be removed

for mounting or unmounting devices. With the 3.5" device cage and front

panel removed, the 5.25" device cage can be pulled out from the chassis.

For proper mounting of your 5.25" device, use this picture as a reference

otherwise trial and error is necessary to make it flush with the front panel

opening. Screw holes are available on each side for securing devices.
