Now you should place the floppy disk drive on your case. First, insert the flat-cable and the USB cable (if your floppy disk drive has an embedded card reader) in the 3 ½” bay, as shown in Figure 20.

Now put the floppy disk drive in place. In Figure 21 we show this for a case with a floppy disk drive cage (i.e., you executed step 3) while in Figure 22 we show this for a regular case.

If you case has a disk drive cage, please jump to the next step.
As your floppy disk drive isn’t already screwed to the case, you will need to align its front with the rest of the case frontal panel manually, in order to avoid the drive from being too forward or too backward from the frontal panel. This is shown in Figure 23.

Now screw the floppy disk drive to the case using the four screws shown previously (Figure 4), two at each side of the drive. One tip: while screwing the floppy disk drive to the case, hold the drive with one of your hands, because while rotating the screwdriver the drive has a natural tendency of getting out of place, what would make its front to be misaligned with the rest of the case frontal panel.
