The floppy disk drive is housed in a two-piece drive carrier assembly that rests on the chassis surface. The
assembly is accessible when the top cover is removed. The following procedures describe how to remove
and install the drive.
Removing the Floppy Diskette Drive

1. Observe all safety and ESD precautions whenever you remove the cover from the HP Server.
WARNING
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.
4. Grasp the sides of the drive and drive carrier assembly and slide it forward such that the front
part of the drive comes through the opening in the chassis. Make sure that the thumbscrew at
the rear of the drive carrier assembly aligns with the hole in the surface of the chassis.
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.
