OverDrive Modules
If you have the 486SX/25 or 486DX/33 CPU card, you can
install an Intel OverDrive module on the card to effectively
double the internal clock speed of the computer’s
microprocessor. Although there is an OverDrive socket on
the 486DX2/66 card, there is no OverDrive module available
for it at this time.
Available OverDrive Modules
CPU card
486SX’25
486DXl33
If you install this module, you cannot also install a 4875X/25
microprocessor chip because both options require the same socket

SIMM Installation
There are two SIMM sockets on the main system board, next
to the option slots. You can install 36-bit, fast-page mode
SIMMs that operate at an access speed of 70ns or faster, with
a capacity of lMB, 4MB, 16MB, or 64MB.
The following table shows the possible SIMM configurations;
do not install memory in any other configuration. Make sure
that both SIMMs operate at the same speed. There is 4MB of
memory soldered onto the main system board.
SIMM Configurations
Hard Disk Drive Types
The following table lists the types of hard disk drives you can
use in the computer. Check this table and the documentation
supplied with your hard disk to find the correct number for
the type of hard disk drive(s) installed in your computer. You
need to enter this number when you set the hard disk drive
configuration in the SETUP program.

Installation/Support Tips
Power
This computer has an automatic input voltage sensing power
supply (between 115V, for USA and Canadian use, and 230V,
for use in other countries). There is no manual switch.
Mouse and Keyboard
P
When connecting the mouse and keyboard, be careful to
plug them into the proper ports. Although they are
physically identical, they are not interchangeable, and
damage may occur to the ports or the main board.
EPSON PROGRESSION
P
When using a software package that uses a key disk as its
copy-protection method, try loading it at high speed. If
this does not work, enable Auto Speed in SETUP.
Power-on Password
0
Make sure that you do not forget the Power-on password
you set up. If you do, it will be necessary to disable it by
moving jumper JP6 on the main circuit board to position A.
Information Reference List
Installing Diskette Drives
Ct
When installing a third-party diskette drive as drive B,
you may need to set the drive select jumper to the second
position and attach the pass-through connector on the
floppy drive controller cable to the drive, not to the end
connector.
CI
If the drive does not function normally, make sure that the
drive type has been correctly selected in SETUP. Also
check that any necessary drivers have been installed
correctly.
Installing Hard Disk Drives
0
It is recommended that a 16-bit, AT-type hard disk
controller be used if you are installing a drive that cannot
use the embedded IDE interface. Installing a 16-bit
interface will override the embedded IDE port and disable
it, freeing the standard base I/O address and IRQ(s).
SETUP
P
When installing a hard disk drive, be sure to consult the
drive type table for the drive type parameters (geometry)
which fit the drive you are installing. You can also select a
type with parameters having lesser values, as long as they
do not exceed the maximum capacity (in MB) of your
drive. If there is no match for your drive, enter the exect
parameters using the User Defined option.

When installing a copy-protected software package, first
try the installation at high speed. If this does not work
properly, try switching to low speed for theinstallation. If
you are still unable to load the program at high speed, try
loading at low speed and then switching to high speed.
Cl
Processor speed varies depending on the CPU card
installed. For the 486SX/25, high speed is 25 MHz; for the
486DX/33, high speed is 33 MHz; and for the 486DX2/66
card, high speed is 66 MHz. All systems simulate 8 MHz
at low speed.
