Chapter 3 Using Your Equity Once you have connected the monitor, keyboard, and peripheral devices to your computer, you are ready to turn your computer on. Plug the power cord into an electrical outlet. But, before you turn on the computer, read the following safety rules which help you avoid accidental damage to the computer, or injury to yourself. 1. Never turn the computer ON or OFF with the disk drive protector sheets in the disk drives. 2. Do not attempt to dismantle any part of the computer. You should only remove the top cover to install and remove option cards. If there appears to be a hardware problem that you cannot solve after reading the Troubleshooting section, or if you wish to install an 8087 math coprocessor, consult your Epson dealer. 3. Always turn off the power, disconnect the main power cord, and wait for a few minutes before removing the cover from the computer (to install or remove option cards only). 4. Never unplug any cables from the computer while the power switch is turned ON. 5. Never turn the computer OFF when a disk is turning in a floppy disk drive or while one of the red drive select lamps is on. This causes data to be lost and may make the whole disk unusable. The same can happen to hard disk drives, and even more data can be destroyed. 6. Always wait at least 5 seconds after switching the power OFF before switching it ON again. Turning it OFF and ON rapidly can damage the computer's circuitry. 7. Do not leave any glass of liquid beverage on top of your peripherals. Spilled liquid damages the circuitry of your unit(s). Powering Up If necessary, turn on the monitor to warm up the screen display so you can see the messages displayed as the computer starts up. The computer can be turned on with or without a system disk in drive A (the upper disk drive). For now, open the cover at the top right of the front 21

Using Your Equity
Once you have connected the monitor, keyboard, and peripheral
devices to your computer, you are ready to turn your computer on. Plug
the power cord into an electrical outlet. But, before you turn on the
computer, read the following safety rules which help you avoid acciden-
tal damage to the computer, or injury to yourself.

Never turn the computer ON or OFF with the disk drive protector
sheets in the disk drives.
Do not attempt to dismantle any part of the computer. You should
only remove the top cover to install and remove option cards. If
there appears to be a hardware problem that you cannot solve after
reading the Troubleshooting section, or if you wish to install an
8087
math coprocessor, consult your Epson dealer.
Always turn off the power, disconnect the main power cord, and
wait for a few minutes before removing the cover from the computer
(to install or remove option cards only).
Never unplug any cables from the computer while the power switch
is turned ON.
Never turn the computer OFF when a disk is turning in a floppy disk
drive or while one of the red drive select lamps is on. This causes data
to be lost and may make the whole disk unusable. The same can
happen to hard disk drives, and even more data can be destroyed.
Always wait at least
5
seconds after switching the power OFF before
switching it ON again. Turning it OFF and ON rapidly can damage
the computer’s circuitry.
Do not leave any glass of liquid beverage on top of your peripherals.
Spilled liquid damages the circuitry of your unit(s).
Powering Up
If necessary, turn on the monitor to warm up the screen display so
you can see the messages displayed as the computer starts up. The com-
puter can be turned on with or without a system disk in drive A (the
