Installing and Removing Disk Drives

The instructions in this chapter describe how to install and remove optional Epson drives in your computer. You can use these instructions to install a variety of devices, including diskette drives, hard disk drives, and tape drives. Although your drive may look a bit different from the one illustrated here, you install it the same way.

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

Before you perform any of the procedures described below, follow the steps in Chapter 5 to remove the computer’s cover and subassembly.

When you complete your drive installation or removal, follow the instructions in Chapter 5 to replace the subassembly and cover. Then see “Post-installation Setup Procedures” at the end of Chapter 6 for information about updating your drive configuration.

Caution

Installing or removing a disk drive is a complicated procedure, so you may want to ask your dealer to do it for you. If you decide to do it yourself, you must carefully follow all the instructions in this chapter or you could damage your equipment.
