1. Introduction
The A2010 31
/:" Floppy Disk Drive is identical to the
internal floppy drive that is already installed inside
your Amiga 2000. By adding the A2010 to your Amiga
2000, you eliminate the disk swapping involved
when using only one floppy drive. With two drives
you can access information and perform disk oper-
ations, such as copying disks, much faster.
The A2010 is easily installed inside the A2000. Before
you begin, check to make sure that you have received
everything:
•A2010 3'/2" floppy disk drive
•Set of hardware (4 screws, 4washers, 4standoffs)
•Jumper
You should also have on hand your Workbench 7"
disk, one blank disk, and one "scratch" disk —adisk
that you will not miss if it is damaged. (A formatted
disk will suffice.)

2. How to Install Your
A2010 Floppy Disk Drive
WARNING: Unplug the Amiga 2000 before install-
ing the A2010. Installing the A2010 with the power
on could cause possible injury to yourself and dam-
age the equipment. Commodore will not be respon-
sible for any damages caused by improper installa-
tion of the A2010. Such improper installation will
void the warranties on both the Amiga 2000 and the
A2010.
Before you start, disconnect the mouse and the key-
board from the front of the Amiga and the power cord
and any peripherals attached in the rear.
Removing the Amiga's Cover
Remove the two screws on the lower left side of the
Amiga that hold the metal cover to its base. Remove
the two screws on the lower right side of the Amiga.
Put the screws and washers aside for later.

Remove the center screw from the rear of the Amiga.
Be careful to unscrew the correct screw as shown.
•T/ •
Turn the Amiga so that you are facing the front of the
machine; the disk drive should be facing you. Grasp
the cover on both sides, slide it towards you, and lift
upward.

If the cover gets stuck, do not force it. Look under the
top of the cover towards the middle. Check to see if
any wires or cables are caught under the small projec-
tion where the middle screw had been attached. If
anything is caught, gently untangle it, and continue
to slide the cover off.
Installing the A2010
Notice the metal plate where the first internal floppy
disk drive is attached. The A2010 will be mounted on
that plate to the left of the first floppy drive. To secure
the screws that will hold your A2010 in place, you
need to lift up the plate.
Four screws hold the metal plate in place; two on the
right side and two on the left. Remove the four
screws, and gently lift up the plate.

Notice the four slight oblong holes in the plate. The
screws for the A20I0 will go through these slots.

II «<
Check the hardware that you received with the
A2010. It will be one of two sets:
SET 1SET 2
4threaded standoffs 4standoff washers
4short screws 4long screws
4flat washers 4flat washers
Using Set 1Hardware
The four standoffs are threaded on each end. One
end of each standoff will be screwed into the A2010.
Ashort screw will be screwed into the other end of
each standoff to hold the A2010 in place.
Screw the four standoffs into the underside of the
A2010. Working from the underside of the metal
plate, hold the A2010 so that it is flush against the
first internal floppy drive.

Put aflat washer over one of the short screws and
insert the screw through the metal plate and into the
standoff. Hand tighten the screw. Repeat this process
with the other three holes. When you have all four
screws in correctly and you are sure the A2010 is
flush against the other drive, tighten the screws.
Using Set 2Hardware
Working from the underside of the plate, put aflat
washer over one of the long screws and insert it
through ahole in the plate. (We suggest starting with
the rear hole immediately next to the first floppy disk
drive.) Place astandoff washer on top of the screw.
Holding the A2010 so that it is flush against the first
floppy drive, place the A2010 on top of the standoff
and hand tighten the screw.
(Repeat this procedure using the front hole immedi-
ately next to the first disk drive. Then move to the
other rear hole, and finish with the remaining front
hole.)
When you are sure that the screws are in correctly
and that the A2010 is flush against the other drive,
lighten all four screws.
Replacing the Metal Plate
After the A2010 is mounted, put the metal plate back
in place, insert the screws, and hand tighten. You
should have some leeway to slide the plate back and
