Step 3 – Install the Floppy Disk Drive to the Cage

This step is necessary only if your case has a removable floppy disk drive cage (Figure 8). If this isn’t your case (which is more likely) skip to the next step.

The first thing to do is to remove the front plastic cover by unscrewing it from the cage. In our case we will use the lower 3 ½” bay, so we removed the lower cover.

Next put the floppy disk drive in the cage (see Figure 12) and then screw it using all four screws, two at each side (see Figure 13).
