lnstalling a Drive in a n Edema I Drive Bay

Your system comes with two externally accessible drive bays.
You can use these bays to install any combination of the

following: a second diskette drive, hard disk drive, CD-ROM

drive, tape drive, or optical drive.

If you are installing a diskette drive or a tape drive with a

standard 5.25-inch diskette drive connector, you can connect it

using the diskette drive cable that came with your system. If

you are installing a hard disk drive or drive with a different

type of connector, you may need to purchase a different cable.

If you are installing a second hard disk drive, be sure its

jumper(s) are set to configure it as the slave drive; the master

drive is the first one, which contains your operating system. A
table of jumper settings for high-capacity EPSON drives is

included in Appendix A. If your drive is not listed or you need

more information, see the documentation that came with your

drive or contact the manufacturer.

If you are installing a hard disk or other type of drive with a
3½-inch form factor, you will need to attach mounting frames

to the drive. If you are installing a drive that already has
mounting frames on it, see if it also has a plastic guiderail and
metal grounding plate attached to it. If so, follow step 1 on
page 4-5 to remove the guiderail and grounding plate. Then go
to “Installing the Drive” on page 4-17.

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

Installing and Removing Drives
