How to Use This Appendix

Keep in mind that all drives sold by Epson are qualified for use in Epson computers and are recommended for use in this system. The instructions in this appendix describe how to install and remove optional Epson diskette and hard disk drives. Your drive may look a bit different from the drive illustrated in this appendix, but you install it the same way. If you received additional documentation with your Epson drive, follow these instructions instead of using that documentation.

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

Each section in this appendix describes a part of the process you may need to perform; you do not need to perform all of the steps. Here are the guidelines:

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

If you are installing or removing a hard disk drive, follow the steps under “Setting the Hard Disk Drive Jumpers,” on page B-4, first. The guidelines at the end of that section tell you which steps to perform next.

If you are installing or removing a diskette drive and you currently have a hard disk drive installed in the vertical mounting position, see “Removing a Hard Disk from the Vertical Position,” on page B-24. The steps in that section lead you to any other instructions you need to follow.

If you are installing or removing a diskette drive and you do not have a hard disk drive installed in the vertical mounting position, see “Installing or Removing a Disk Drive in the Horizontal Position,” on page B-27.
