Installing a Floppy Drive into the Converted Hard
Drive Bay (Backplane Installed)
The slimline floppy drive conversion kit can only be installed into a
system that is using either the SATA or the SCSI backplane. You will
know if you have one of these backplanes installed if you can install
either hot-swap SATA or hot-swap SCSI drives. The conversion kit must
be installed in the left hard drive bay.
1 Observe the safety and ESD precautions at the beginning of this
book. See “Safety Information.”
2 Power down the server and unplug all peripheral devices and the
AC power cable.
3 Remove the chassis cover. For instructions, see “Removing the
Chassis Cover.”
4 Remove the front bezel if it is installed. For instructions, see
“Removing and Installing the Front Bezel.”
5 Remove the left hot-swap hard drive carrier from the chassis.
6 Remove the screws that attach the slide rails to the floppy drive
conversion kit carrier.
7 Slide the floppy drive into the drive carrier, rear of the drive first,
with the underside of the drive facing down.
8 Line up the holes in the side of the drive with the holes in the
carrier. See letter “A” in the figure below.
