This manual explains how to set up your Epson

computer. Chapter 1 provides simple instructions for setting up your system and connecting peripheral devices such as the monitor, mouse, and printer.

Chapter 2 describes how to run the SETUP program to define your computer’s configuration. Do this before you use your computer. If you change the configuration later, you will need to run it again.

After you set up your system and run SETUP, you can install your operating system and software. (For general installation guidelines, see the Read This First card that came with your computer.)

For information on using system memory, see Appendix A.

Note

If your computer has already been configured, you don’t

need to run SETUP

or install any software. Just set it up as

described in Chapter 1 and turn it on.

For complete information about using your computer, see the

User’s Guide.

Introduction 1

Chapter 1

Setting Up Your System

To set up your computer, follow the eight steps in this chapter. You may want to open this manual’s back cover foldout so you can refer to the illustrations identifying the different parts.

Setting up

Your system

1-1

Choosing a Location

When selecting a place to set up your system, choose a safe, convenient location that provides the following:

A flat, hard surface. Surfaces like beds and carpets attract static electricity, which can erase data on your disks, damage the computer% circuitry, and prevent proper ventilation.

Good air circulation. Leave several inches of space around

the computer so air can move freely.

Moderate environmental conditions. Select a cool, dry area and protect your computer from extremes in temperature, humidity, dust, and smoke. Avoid direct sunlight or other sources of heat.

No electromagnetic interference. Do not place your system too close to any electrical device, such as a telephone or television, which generates an electromagnetic field.

Appropriate power source. Connect all your equipment with the appropriate power cords for the power source in

your area. If you are operating the computer in a country other than the one in which you purchased it, see "Power Source Requiremetns” in Appendix A of the User’s Guide for a list of the cords you should use.

latch

Never turn on your computer with a protective card in the diskette slot. You could damage the diskette drive.

If you have a second 5.25-inch diskette drive, be sure to remove the card from it also.

Save the protective card. If you transport your computer later, insert the card to protect the drive’s read/write heads during shipping.

Setting up Your

System

1-3

Connecting a Monitor

The way you connect your monitor to the computer depends on the type of monitor you have. If you have a VGA monitor

(or a multifrequency monitor with an analog connector), you

can connect it to the computer’s built-in VGA port as described below. If you have any other type of monitor (or if you want to install a display adapter card to control your monitor), see

“Using a Display Adapter Card” on page 1-7.

Note

If a manual was provided with your monitor, refer to those instructions along with the ones below.

Using the VGA Port

Follow these steps to connect your VGA monitor to the built-in VGA port on the computer.

Place your monitor on top of or near the computer. Turn the monitor and computer around so the backs are facing you.

1-4

There should be two cables provided with your monitor: the monitor cable (to connect it to the computer) and the power cable (to connect it to a power source). On most monitors, the monitor cable is permanently attached to the monitor,

such as the one shown in the illustration on the your monitor does not have an attached cable, connect the cable to it now. (gee your monitor manual for instructions.)

Setting Up Your System

page. If

Examine the connector on the monitor cable and line it up with the VIDEO port on the computer. Then insert the connector into the port, as shown below.

To avoid damaging the connector, be careful not to bend the pins when inserting it.

If the connector has retaining screws, tighten them.

Using a Display Adapter Card

If you are not using a VGA monitor or if you want to install a display adapter card to control your VGA monitor, read the guidelines in this section.

Skip this section if you connected your monitor to the computer’s built-in VGA port.

Before you can

connect

a monitor to a display adapter card, you must install the card in your computer. If it is not already installed, follow the instructions in Chapter 2 of the

User’s

Guide

to install an option card.

When installing the card, make sure any switches or jumpers on the card are set properly. For example, you may need to change a switch setting to select color or monochrome. See the documentation that came with your monitor and display adapter card for instructions.

If you install a display adapter card, you must set jumper J10

on the main system board to disable the built-in VGA port.

(You do not have to do this

if you connected the Card to the

VGA feature connector on the main system board.) You may also need to set jumper J11 to indicate whether you are using a color or monochrome monitor. (If you are using a VGA monochrome monitor, however, set the jumper for color so your system uses the VGA memory addresses.) See Chapter 2 of the User’s Guide for instructions on changing jumper settings.

Note If you install a high-resolution graphics adapter card that

connects to an alternate VGA interface (also called a “feature

connector”), see Chapter 2 of the User’s Guide for instructions on connecting the card to the connector

on the main system

board.

Setting Up Your System

1-7

After you install the card, connect your monitor to the computer. If your monitor came with its own manual, follow the instructions there. Otherwise, you can follow the steps in “Using the VGA Port” on page 1-4; just insert your monitor

connector into the adapter card port instead of the built-in VGA

port.

Connecting a Printer or Other Device

Your computer has one parallel and two serial ports. To

connect

instructions below.

a printer or other peripheral device, follow the

1-8

Setting Up Your System

Using the Parallel Port

Follow these steps to

connect

a parallel printer to your

computer:

Place the printer next to the computer so that the backs are facing you.

Align the connector end of the printer cable with the

PARALLEL port, as shown below, and plug it in. If the

connector has retaining screws, tighten them by hand or with a screwdriver.

Setting Up Your System

1-9

Connect the other end of the cable to the printer as shown below. To secure the cable, squeeze the clips at each side of the printer port and push them into place.

1-20

Plug the print&s power cord into an appropriate grounded (earthed) electrical outlet.

Setting Up Your System

Using the Serial Ports

If you have a printer, a modem, or other peripheral device with a serial interface, you can connect it to one of the serial

(RS-232C) ports on the back of the computer. These ports use a

DB-9P connector, so be sure you have a compatible cable.

To connect a serial device, insert the connector into one of the pork, marked SERIAL 1 and SERIAL 2 If you are connecting only one serial device, use the SERIAL 1 port, as shown below.

Setting Up Your System

1-11

Connecting the Keyboard

To connect the keyboard, hold the cable connector so the arrow on the connector faces up. Insert it into the port marked K/B, as shown below.

IllII

1-12

Although the connectors and ports for the keyboard and

mouse are physically identical, they cannot be used

interchangeably. Be sure to plug the keyboard connector into the keyboard (K/B) port.

Setting Up Your System

You can change the angle of the keyboard by adjusting the legs on the bottom. Turn it over and flip each leg upward until it locks into place. It is important to select the best angle so you will prevent wrist fatigue. (You may even want to purchase a wrist pad--sold at computer stores-for further comfort.)

TO lower the keyboard, press the leg back into its slot.

Connecting the Mouse

Your computer has an auxiliary port for an IBM

PS/2

™

compatible mouse that uses a round, miniature DIN (6-pin) connector. If your mouse has this type of connector, you can

connect

Note

it to the computer’s built-in port.

If your mouse requires a different interface port, you can

connect

it to the built-in serial port or install

option card that provides the interface. Then disable the built-in mouse port by changing the setting of jumper J9, and enable the option card port by changing J12 See Chapter 2 of the

User’s Guide for instructions.

Setting Up Your System

4. If necessary, use the controls on your monitor to adjust the brightness and contrast until characters on the screen are clear and at a comfortable level of intensity. If your monitor has horizontal and vertical hold controls, you may need to use them to stabilize the display.

5. The screen displays the following prompt:

Press <F2> to run SETUP

Do not press any key yet; you just want to make sure the computer is working. This prompt appears every time you turn on your computer so you can run SETUP if necessary. After a few seconds, the prompt disappears.

If there is no operating system installed on your computer, you then see an error message. Ignore the message for now; once you install the operating system, you will not see this message. If MS-DOS is already installed, you may see the command prompt

: \) or the menu screen of a program

such as Windows®, if it has been configured to do this.

Where To Go Next

If your system is preconfigured, the only thing you need to do now is install any additional software and VGA device drivers you want to use. (See your application program manuals for instructions on installing software.) If you are using Microsoft@ Windows, be sure to install the appropriate VGA driver(s) for your monitor. See the

VGA Utilities

Guide for instructions.

Then see Chapter 1 of the User’s Guide for important information about operating your computer.

If your system is not preconfigured, follow theinstructions in Chapter 2 to run the SETUP program. Guidelines at the end of Chapter 2 tell you what to do next.

Chapter 2

Running the SETUP Program

If your computer was not preconfigured, you need to run the

SETUP program the first time you use it to define how your

system is set up. You may need to run it again later if you change some part of your configuration.

The SETUP program is stored in the computer’s read-only memory (ROM), so you can run the program any time you turn on or reset your computer.

SETUP lets you verify or change the following:

Current date and time

Installed base and extended memory

Processor speed settings

Fast boot option

Location of the built-in video BIOS

System and video shadow RAM address operation

Keyboard delay, speed, and num lock status

Installed equipment information

Appendix A

Using Memory

Your computer comes with 4MB of memory, and you may have installed additional memory. This appendix describes how the

memory in your computer works and gives guidelines for

using the appropriate memory manager program to control your memory.

Types of Memory

A computer’s memory is divided into three types: conventional, reserved, and extended. shows the relationships between these types of memory and their addresses.

The diagram below

All memory in a computer is managed using addresses-

numbers that describe the location of each byte of data. Each memory chip must have its own set of unique addresses so that

the operating system knows where to store and find data.

Conventional memory (also called base memory) is memory that

the operating system recognizes

of conventional memory is limited to 640KB and has addresses

in the range 0 to 640KB.

and manages directly. The size

Using Memory

A-1

Reserved memory is memory in the range 640KB to 1MB. The system enhances its performan memory as shadow RAM. Some of the remaining

ce by using 256KB of this

memory may be available; see Appendix A of the User’s Guide for information on how your computer uses this memory.

Extended memory is memory with addresses

in the range 1MB to the maximum system memory, and can be used only by the following:

Certain operating systems, such as OS/2

Some MS-DOS interfaces, such as Windows

Some RAM disk programs, such as VDISK

Some hard disk caching programs,

Certain specially-written, protected mode MS-DOS

such as SMARTDRV

applications.

Most versions of MS-DOS include a standard extended memory manager. If you are using MS-DOS, Windows, and other compatible

programs, it is best to use one of the memory managers (such as HIMEM.SYS) that came with your software because these memory managers have been tested and proven reliable.

Most MS-DOS commands and application programs cannot use extended memory directly. They need to use expanded memory. This type of memory allows some MS-DOS applications to get around the 640KB limitation. You control expanded memory with a memory manager (such as EMM386.EXE), which enables

the computer to use your extended memory as expanded

memory.

A-2 Using Memory

For more information about your system’s memory, see the “System Memory Map” in Appendix A of the User’s Guide. For instructions on using your memory manager, see the documentation that came with it.

Note

Microsoft Windows comes with its own memory manager; be sure to install it if you use Windows and your system is not preconfigured. (See your Windows documen

tation for

instructions.)
