Installing a Diskette Drive in a 3.

5-inch Bay
NOTE Your HP Workstation might not match the illustrations in this document, but the following
procedures are similar enough to assist you in a hardware installation.

This document describes how to install the diskette drive in two different drivelock types.
Drivelock Type I
Drivelock Type II

Drivelock Type I
1 Disconnect power from the system, open the access panel, remove the front bezel and the necessary
bezel blank.
2 While lifting the green drivelock release tab, slide the drive forward into the chassis.

3 Connect a data cable from the system board to the diskette drive and connect the power cable from
the power supply to the diskette drive. Depending on your system, the location of the system board
connector and the correct power cable to use might be different. Refer to your Service and Technical
Reference Guide for your HP Workstation for product-specific information.

4 Route the diskette drive data cable between the system board and the hard drive cage.

CAUTION The cable must stay between the system board and the hard drive cage. It might be
necessary to push the cable down so that it catches on the system board. This routing method is
important because you do not want to interfere with the CPU fansink fans or block airflow.

5 Replace the diskette drive bezel, the front bezel, and the access panel. Reconnect the power and
turn on the workstation.

Drivelock Type II
1 Disconnect power from the system, open the access panel, remove the front bezel and the necessary
bezel blank.
2 Lift the green drivelock release tab 1 and slide the drive 2 in at the same time. Align the screws with
the slots on the drive, and slide the drive into the unit until it snaps into place.

3 Connect a data cable from the system board to the diskette drive and connect the power cable from
the power supply to the diskette drive. Depending on your system, the location of the system board
connector and the correct power cable to use might be different. Refer to your Service and Technical
Reference Guide for your HP Workstation for product-specific information.

4 Replace the diskette drive bezel, the front bezel, and the access panel. Reconnect the power and
turn on the workstation.
