Post-installation Procedures
After you install or remove your drive(s) and replace the
computer’s cover, follow the steps below to make sure your
new configuration works properly:
1. Run the SETUP program to configure your computer for
your new set of drives. See Chapter 2 for instructions.
2. If you installed a non-IDE hard disk drive (which requires a
separate controller card to control it), you need to run the
SETUP program to disable the built-in IDE hard disk drive
interface.
3. You may need to format the drive before you can use it.
(All Epson drives are sold already formatted.) Check the
manual that came with the drive to see if it is already
formatted. If not, follow the manufacturer’s instructions to
format the drive.
4. If you want to be able to load your operating system from a
new hard disk drive, you need to install it on the drive. See
the documentation that came with your operating system
for instructions.
