Installing or Removing a Drive in the Horizontal Position

This section describes how to install or remove a drive in a horizontal drive bay. Although the illustrations show a diskette drive in the lower bay, you can use these same instructions if you need to install a different drive in the upper drive bay.

If you have a hard disk drive installed in the vertical mounting position, remove it before you remove or install a drive in the horizontal drive bay. See “Removing a Hard Disk From the Vertical Position” above.

Installing a Drive in the Horizontal Position

Before you perform the following steps, be sure that you have set the jumpers on any hard disk drive(s) you’ll be using. (If not, see “Setting the Hard Disk Drive Jumpers” on page 5-4 for instructions.)

If you are adding a 3lh-inch drive, make sure that 5¼-inch metal mounting frames are attached to the drive so it fits properly in the drive bay. Epson 3Winch drives come with mounting frames already installed. If your drive did not come with frames installed, follow the instructions in the manual that came with the drive to attach them.

Follow these steps to install a disk drive:

1.If you are installing a 5¼-inch diskette drive, turn it so that the diskette release latch is above the diskette slot. If you are installing a 31R-inch diskette drive, turn it so that the diskette release button is on the right and the drive light is on the left.

If you are installing a hard disk drive, turn it so that the side with the components is facing down.
