Introduction - ECS NEATSX User Manual

Introduction

The NEATsx system board is an cost-effective compromise
between the power of a 32-bit internal architecture and the conven­
ience of full compatibility with the IBM PC/AT and OS/2. The board
therefore allows the microprocessor to operate with all the advantages
of a '386 system, with multi-tasking and multi-user capabilities.
This manual has been designed to be useful for two purposes.
If your NEATsx is already set up in a functioning system you may
want to review the manual to familiarize yourself with the features of
the board and where things are. This will be helpful in the unlikely
event that you should ever have a problem with your NEATsx.
For those who want to alter the board's configuration or up­
grade it, the manual will serve as a guide to both procedure and speci­
fications. While the necessary information is included in the manual,
we recommend that unless you feel confident of your ability to do the
work, it would be best to have your dealer or a local service shop do it
for you. If you decide to make alterations to the system yourself,
check to see that doing so will not violate your system warranty. If it
i loes you may want to have the work done by an authorized dealer.
