Removing the Floppy Diskette Drive

To remove the floppy diskette drive, complete the following procedure:

1. Observe all safety and ESD precautions whenever you remove the cover

from the HP Server.

WARNING

Before removing the top cover, always disconnect the power
cord and unplug the Ethernet cables. Disconnect the power
cord to avoid exposure to high energy levels that may cause
burns when parts are short-circuited by metal objects such as
tools or jewelry.

The power switch does NOT turn off the standby power.
Disconnect the power cord from the HP Server before
handling components.

2. Remove the top cover as described in “Removing and Replacing the HP

Server’s Main Cover” in Chapter 2.

3. Disconnect the drive’s data and power cables from cable adapter PCB at

the rear of the drive.

4. Loosen the thumbscrew found at the rear of the drive carrier assembly.

5. Slide the drive and the drive carrier assembly toward the rear of the chassis

so that the front part of the drive clears the opening in the chassis.

6. Remove the drive carrier assembly with the drive in it from the chassis.

7. Place the drive in an antistatic protective wrapper if you are not reinstalling

the same drive.

Installing the Floppy Disk Drive

To install the new floppy diskette drive, complete the following steps:

1. Remove the new drive assembly from its protective wrapper, and place it

component-side up on an antistatic surface.

2. Record the drive model and serial numbers in your equipment log.

3. Pick up the entire drive carrier assembly, being careful that you keep the

pieces together, and place it on the chassis surface just inside the drive slot.
