Attention!
For all actions (Connecting and installing the floppy drive, booting the side-
panel PC), a floppy disk must be inserted into the slot! It is the best to always
leave a disk in the USB floppy disk drive!

Connect your laptop via LAN to the switcher and share your CDROM drive to the
network. Close the sidepanel. Plug in the USB floppy disk drive and let Windows
detect this new hardware. If no driver is installed yet, a window opens showing the
new hardware and a dialog will guide you through the installation.
