Diskette Drive Installation 5. This routing method is important because you do not want to push the cable down so that it catches on the workstation. 3 Replace the diskette drive bezel, front bezel, access panel, reconnect power, and turn on the system board. It might look different than the one shown. Ä CAUTION: The cable must stay between the system board and the hard drive cage.
