Epson 286 PLUS Manuel D’Utilisation

You need to check or change the hard disk drive jumper settings

if you are installing or removing any hard disk drives. The

jumpers tell the computer whether you are using one hard disk

drive or two.

Note

You do not need to set these jumpers if you are removing your
only hard disk drive.

If you remove one hard disk drive and leave another in your

computer, you need to change the jumper settings on the
remaining drive to indicate that you now have only one hard

disk drive installed.

If you are installing your first hard disk drive and it is the only

one you are going to install, see “Changing the Jumper Settings”
on the next page to check the jumpers on your drive.

If you’ll be using two hard disk drives, see “Setting the Jumpers

for Two Hard Disk Drives,” below.

If you install two hard disk drives in your system, you must
change the jumper settings on each drive to indicate which

drive is the “master” drive and which is the “slave” drive.

A master drive is the drive on which you’ll install the operating

system that the computer loads into its memory each time you

turn it on. You can run application programs and store data on

both the master drive and the slave drive, but the operating
system must be contained on the master drive.

Follow the instructions in the next section to change the jumper

settings on both of your hard disk drives.
