If you are installing a floppy disk drive, you will need to first install the two metallic adaptors that come with the case on the drive.

The screwless mechanisms for installing 5 ¼” devices are really easy to use. They have a button that pressed once locks the drive into place. To release the drive, just press the button one more time.
