Chapter 4

Installing and Removing Drives

This chapter describes how to install and remove optional drives in your computer. You can use these instructions to install a variety of devices, including hard disk drives, a diskette drive, a tape drive, or a CD-ROM drive. Although your drive may look different from the ones illustrated here, you should be able to install it the same way.

Your computer can hold up to three mass storage devices. You can install a hard disk drive in the internal hard disk drive bay. In the upper horizontal bay, you can install a second hard disk drive (if you have the right cable), a second diskette drive, a tape drive, or a CD-ROM drive.

To install or remove a drive, first remove the computer’s cover as described in Chapter 3. Then use the instructions below to install a hard disk drive in the internal hard disk drive bay or follow the instructions on page 4-11 to install any type of drive in the upper horizontal bay.

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.
