Setting The Ide Device Jumpers And Locating Pin 1 - Epson ActionTower 8600 User Manual

Some of the steps in this chapter may not apply for the drive you
are installing. See the documentation that came with your drive
for more information.
Your slimline computer can hold up to four mass storage
devices, including the diskette drive that came with your
system. You can replace the existing hard disk drive in the
internal mounting bracket below the diskette drive. In the
externally accessible bays, you can install a CD-ROM drive or
another type of drive.
To install or remove a drive, first follow the instructions under
"Removing the Cover" in Chapter 3. Then remove any option
cards that may be in your way. Once you have installed the
drive, replace any option cards you removed. See "Installing an
Option Card" in Chapter 3 for instructions.

Setting the IDE Device Jumpers and Locating Pin 1

Before you install any IDE devices, you need to check or change
the settings of the device's jumpers to be sure they are set
correctly. The jumpers indicate the master and slave
configuration of devices connected to both of the IDE interfaces.
A table in the "Hard Disk Drive Information" section of
Appendix A lists the master and slave jumper settings for the
IDE hard disk drives that are qualified for use in your computer.
If your hard disk drive is not listed in that table, check the
documentation that came with it or call the manufacturer for the
jumper settings.
If you are installing another type of IDE device, such as an IDE
CD-ROM drive, check the documentation that came with the
device for the master and slave jumper settings.
