The most common way to upgrade a personal computer is to install and connect a floppy drive to it. This operation does not require contacting the service center, since it is not difficult to connect the drive, and all you need is a small screwdriver that fits the small screws of the system unit case.
Instructions
Step 1
Turn off your computer and disconnect power from it. Remove the side cover of the system unit. At the top of the front of the chassis, remove the plastic cover located where you will install the new drive.
Step 2
Take a close look at the wires and connectors on the motherboard. Hard drives and drives are usually connected to connectors with the same interface: ATA or SATA. Accordingly, the cables with which they are connected to the motherboard will also be the same. Decide on the sequence of connecting the drive. Depending on this, set the jumper on it to the “Master” or “Slave” position.
Step 3
If there is a free connector on the corresponding cables in the system unit, then, having previously installed the drive in the designated place at the top of the case from the outside, connect it to the corresponding socket of the drive. If there is no free connector left on the used cables, connect a new cable from the drive kit to the motherboard. In the future, other drives and hard drives can be connected to this cable. Connect the wire supplying voltage from the power supply to the corresponding socket.
Step 4
Secure the drive with the retaining screws. Insert and close the side cover of the case of the system unit. Turn on your computer. If the installation was done correctly, the drive will be automatically detected in the BIOS and will become available for operation in the operating system.
