Install Floppy Disk Drive
Step 2 – Remove the Front Panel CoverNow look at the front panel of your case (see Figure 7). There you will see that there are big empty places for installing optical drives like DVD burners, called 5.25” bays, and small empty places for installing floppy disk drives, called 3.5” bays. Locate the 3.5” bay that you want to install your floppy disk drive and remove the plastic cover that exists there.Figure 7: Case frontal panel.How this is done depends on the case.

The case we used had two levers that when pressed and then pulled released the cage for installing the floppy disk drive (Figure 8). But this isn’t the most common option.
On the majority of cases you will need to either remove the plastic cover by pushing it from behind with your hand (just insert your left hand inside the case and push the front cover) or, if your case has a metallic cover behind the plastic cover, using a flat-tip screwdriver to pull the cover out. Also, if you case has this metallic cover behind the plastic cover, you will need to literally break it. This is done by holding it with a flat-tip screwdriver or with a pliers and swinging it up and down until it is broke. Both the plastic cover and the metallic cover can be thrown away.Figure 8: Cage for installing the floppy disk drive on our case.Figure 9: Frontal panel without the cover.The order of the next three steps will depend on the kind of case you have. We are going to post in the same order that in necessary for the case we had.

If your case does not feature a removable cage (Figure 8), which is probably your case, please skip to step 4.
.If the case has externally accessible 3.5” drive bay(s), use one ofthem for the floppy disk drive, saving the 5.25” bays for otherpurposes. If for some reason you must install the FDD in a 5.25” bay,you’ll need to purchase an adapter for $5 or so.A standard FDD cable has threeconnector positions, one on each end and one in the middle. Betweenthe middle connector and one end connector, a portion of the cable istwisted. The two connectors separated by the twisted portion are usedto connect drives. The other end connector attaches to themotherboard FDD interface. Attaching the FDD to the connector on thefar side of the twist makes that FDD A.Connecting it to the middle connector (before the twist) makes itB.
Some cables have five connectors, with twoconnectors (one header-pin and one edge-card) at each drive position.These dual connectors can be used interchangeably, depending on whichfits the drive. The edge-card connector was used by 5.25” FDDs, whichare obsolete, but many adapters that allow a 3.5” FDD to be installedin a 5.25” drive bay use the edge-card connector.Most recent BIOSessupport only one FDD, and have a BIOS setting that allows drivesA.Get PC Hardware in a Nutshell, Second Edition now with O’Reilly online learning.O’Reilly members experience live online training, plus books, videos, and digital content from 200+ publishers.
