Installing or Removing a Drive in the Horizontal

Position

This section describes how to install or remove a drive in a

horizontal drive bay. Although the illustrations show a diskette

drive in the lower bay, you can use these same instructions if

you need to install a different drive in the upper drive bay.

If you have a hard disk drive installed in the vertical mounting

position, remove it before you remove or install a drive in the

horizontal drive bay. See “Removing a Hard Disk From the

Vertical Position” above.

Installing a 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) you’ll be using. (If

not, see “Setting the Hard Disk Drive Jumpers” on page 5-4 for

instructions.)

If you are adding a

drive, make sure that 5¼-inch

metal mounting frames are attached to the drive so it fits

properly in the drive bay. Epson

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 the drive to attach them.

Follow these steps to install a disk drive:

1. If you are installing a 5¼-inch diskette drive, turn it so that

the diskette release latch is above the diskette slot. If you

are installing a

diskette drive, turn it 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 it so that the side

with the components is facing down.
