How to Use This Appendix

The instructions in this appendix describe how to install and remove optional Epson diskette and hard disk drives. All drives sold by Epson for the Equity 286 PLUS are qualified and recommended for use in this system. Your drive may look a bit different from the one illustrated in this appendix, but you install it the same way.

If you are installing or removing a non-Epson drive, some of the steps in this appendix may not apply to your drive; see the documentation that came with it for more information.

Each section describes a part of the process you may need to perform. Here are the guidelines:
