Installing a Disk 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) that you are installing or that have been installed in your computer. (If not, see “Setting the Hard Disk Drive Jumpers,” on page B-4, for instructions.)

If you are adding a 3 ‘/z-inch diskette drive or hard disk drive, you need to make sure that 5 ‘/+inch metal mounting frames are attached to the drive so it fits properly in the drive bay. Epson

3‘/z-inch diskette drives and hard disk 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 your drive to attach them.

The figures in this section show a diskette drive, but you can use the same instructions to install a hard disk drive.

Follow these steps to install the disk drive:

1.If you are installing a 5 ‘/+inch diskette drive, turn the drive so that the diskette release latch is above the diskette slot.

If you are installing a 3 ‘/z-inch diskette drive, turn the drive 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 the drive so that the side with the components is facing down.
