How to Use This Chapter

The instructions in this chapter describe how to install and remove optional Epson diskette and hard disk drives. All drives sold by Epson for the Equity 386SX/20 PLUS are qualified and recommended for use in this system. Your drive may look a bit different from the one illustrated here, but you install it the same way.

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

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