- To change the number of a drive, there's a particular jumper on the back
- of it. Then configure the setup to swap the #1 and #2 drives specifs
- (for my part, i 've added a 3 1/2 to my 2286, but i don't know if
- the setup is the same for the 2288, it depends what you understand
- with 'external'. if the drive is connected with the first drive on the
- same drive interface plug)
