Installing Option Cards; Removing The Cover - Epson EQUITY Y14499113001 User Manual

Option cards are accessories you can add to your Equity I+ to provide
extra system capabilities. For example, you may want to install a memory
expansion card or an auto-dial modem.
You can install up to five option cards in the Equity I+ at one time, but
one position is always occupied by the video card that operates your moni-
tor.
Option cards are available from Epson as well as other vendors. In addi-
tion, multifunction boards (available from other vendors) allow you to add
other features without using additional slots. Consult your Epson dealer for
more information.
