Epson 486SX - Manual (Page 123)

Chapter 7
Installing and Removing Drives
The instructions in this chapter describe how to install and
remove optional Epson drives in your computer. You can use
these instructions to install a variety of devices, including
diskette drives, hard disk drives, and tape drives. Even if your
drive looks a bit different from the one illustrated here, you
install it the same way.
If you want to install or remove a non-Epson drive, you can
follow these instructions, although some of the steps in this
chapter may not apply. See the manual that came with your
drive for more information.
This chapter describes how to do the following:
Use the correct drive bay
Set the IDE (Integrated Drive Electronics) jumpers on a
hard disk drive
Install or remove a drive in the external drive bay
Install or remove an internal drive.
Before you perform any of the procedures described below,
remove the computer’s cover as described in Chapter 5. You
may also need to remove the front panel and subassembly; the
instructions in this chapter tell you when this is necessary.
