Running The Setup Program - Epson Equity 386/25 User Manual

Running the Setup Program

The first time you use your Equity 386/25, you need to run the
Setup program on the Reference diskette to define the
computer's configuration. This is a simple procedure you must
do at least once. (You may need to do it again later, if you
change the configuration.)
The Setup program automatically configures parts of your
system and lets you set (or change) the following for your
computer:
Extended memory caching
Type of display adapter (video) card installed
Power-on password
Fast boot function
Auto speed function
Shadow RAM function
Real-time clock's time and date
Hard disk drive configuration
Diskette drive type(s).
The configuration you define with the Setup program is stored
in the computer's CMOS RAM, which is permanent because it
is backed up by a battery. Whenever you turn on the computer,
it searches the CMOS RAM for the correct installation
information. If the computer discovers a difference between the
information in the CMOS RAM and its actual configuration, it
prompts you to run the Setup program.
