Post-installation Procedures
After you install or remove your drive(s) and replace the computer’s cover, follow the necessary steps below to make sure your new configuration works properly:
1.Run the SETUP program to configure your computer for your new set of drives. See Chapter 2 of the Setup Guide for instructions.
2.If you installed a non-IDE hard disk drive (which requires a separate controller card to control it), you need to run SETUP to disable the built-in IDE hard disk drive controller. You may also need to format the drive before you can use it. (All Epson drives are sold already formatted.) Check the manual that came with the drive to see if it is already formatted. If not, see Chapter 5 for instructions.
3.If you want to be able to load your operating system from a new hard disk drive, you need to install it on the drive. See the documentation that came with your operating system for instructions.
4.You may also want to test a newly-installed drive. See Chapter 4 for instructions on using the system diagnostic program on your Reference diskette to test your drives.
