Post-Installation Setup; Removing An Option Card; Setting The Dip Switches - Epson Equity III User Manual

Post-installation Setup

After you install an option card (and replace the main unit's cover
and reconnect the power cord and peripherals), you need to run the
SETUP program on the diagnostics diskette to update the configuration
information. For example, if you add a hard disk, you need to run
SETUP to tell the computer that it has the additional drive. See your
diagnostics manual for instructions.

Removing an Option Card

To remove an option card, follow the same basic procedure you used
to install it. Turn off the computer, monitor, and all peripherals, and
all the cables. Then remove the main unit's cover.

To remove the card, take out the screw holding the adapter and pull
the card straight up and out of the connector. Then carefully wrap the
card, preferably with the original packing materials, and place it inside
its box for safe storage. Cover the end of the empty option slot with the
original metal cover and retaining screw.
If necessary, reset the DIP switches inside your main unit. Also, if
you previously changed some operating system settings in the diagnos-
tics SETUP program for the option card (to use a hard disk, for exam-
ple), you need to change these settings back to their original values.

Setting the DIP Switches

If you change the configuration of your Equity III (for example, by
adding a disk drive or a monitor, or by expanding its memory), you may
need to change the DIP switch settings. Figure 4-6 shows the location of
the DIP switches inside the Equity III main unit.
There are two sets of switches; one has six switches and the other has
four. Table shows the DIP switch functions and the descriptions be-

low explain what each switch does. When a switch is up, it is on. When a
switch is down, it is off. To change a setting, use a hard, thin object, such
as a small screwdriver.
