Installing A Drive In An External Bay - Epson Powerspan 2 User Manual

If you are installing a hard disk, it is best to install it in an
internal drive bay. This reserves the external bays for any
externally accessible drives you may want to add later.
Note
Installing a hard disk drive in an externally accessible bay
is not recommended because the drive can generate excess
electromagnetic interference.
You can install 5.25-inch drives or 3.5-inch drives with
5.25-inch mounting frames attached in the external bays. See
the manual that came with your drive(s) for instructions on
attaching the mounting frames, if they are not already attached.

Installing a Drive in an External Bay

This section describes how to install a diskette drive or other
externally accessible device in the external bays. Although the
illustrations in this section show a diskette drive being installed
in the upper bay, the installation procedures apply to any type
of drive you choose to install in any of the external bays.
Before you begin, locate two slide rails (one labeled A on the
side and one labeled B) and two grounding clips for each drive
you are installing. These items came in the box with your
computer. Also locate four screws for each drive; these are
supplied by your drive manufacturer.
1. Remove the drive from its protective wrapper and place it on
an anti-static surface. Record the drive model and serial
number in the "Equipment Log" on page 1-12.
2. Set any drive jumpers or switches according to the
manufacturer's instructions.
