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
1
When selecting a place to set up your system, choose a safe,
convenient location that provides the following:
a
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.
P
Good air circulation. Leave several inches of space around
the computer so air can move freely.
a
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.
a
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.
0
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.

Removing the Protective Curd
2
If you have a 5.25-inch diskette drive, there is a protective card
in the diskette slot. To remove it, lift the latch up to release the
card; then pull it out.
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.

System

Connecting a Monitor
3
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.
1.
Place your monitor on top of or near the computer. Turn the
monitor and computer around so the backs are facing you.
1-4
2
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.)

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.
4.
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
4
Your computer has one parallel and two serial ports. To
connect
instructions below.
a printer or other peripheral device, follow the

Setting Up Your System
Using the Parallel Port
Follow these steps to
connect
a parallel printer to your
computer:
1.
Place the printer next to the computer so that the backs are
facing you.
2.
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

3.
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.

4.
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.
