Ins falling a Drive in an External Drive Bay

Your system comes with two externally accessible drive bays. You can install any type of drive in these bays, including internal hard disk drives.

If

you

are

installing a hard disk drive or another IDE device,

be

sure

its

jumper(s) are set correctly for your configuration.

A

table

in

the “Information for Qualified Hard Disk Drives”

section of Appendix A lists the master and slave jumper settings for high-capacity, EPSON-qualified IDE hard disk drives. If your drive is not listed or you need more information, see the documentation that came with your drive or contact the manufacturer.

Note

You must connect IDE CD-ROM drives or other devices to the secondary IDE interface. Use the primary interface only for IDE hard disk drives. You cannot connect a CD-ROM drive and hard disk drive to the same interface.

Before you can install a drive in one of the external bays, you must remove the mounting bracket containing the diskette drive (and possibly a hard disk drive). Follow the instructions under “Removing the Drive Mounting Bracket.” (You can remove the bracket and drives without disconnecting the drive cables.)

This section includes steps for the following procedures:

Attaching mounting frames to the drive (if necessary)

Installing the drive in the bay

Connecting the drive cables.
