Chapter 4

lnstalling 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 follow the instructions in this chapter to install and remove drives:

Installing a hard disk drive in the internal drive bay

Removing a hard disk drive from the internal drive bay

Installing a drive in the upper horizontal drive bay

Removing a drive from the upper drive bay

Reconnecting drive and power cables to the diskette drive in the lower drive bay

Post-installation procedures.

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.
