Epson Equity IIe User Manual - Page 17

Chapter 1 provides simple step-by-step instructions for setting up your system. On the back cover foldout are illustrations identifying the different parts of the Equity IIe; you may want to refer to this while setting up your system. Chapter 2 describes how to run the Setup program to define your computer's configuration. You must do this for a new computer before you use it. You may need to do it again later, if you change the configuration. Chapter 3 provides instructions for performing important operating procedures, including using and caring for your disks and disk drives. Chapter 4 provides basic instructions for using MS-DOS with your computer. Chapter 5 describes some of the options you can use in your Equity IIe and contains instructions for installing option cards and changing jumper settings. Appendix A contains troubleshooting tips in case you encounter any problems while using your computer. Appendix B provides information about the power-on diagnostics. Appendix C outlines the system diagnostics checks you can perform on your computer. If you are having trouble with any part of the hardware, you may want to run some of these diagnostics checks. Appendix D describes how to perform a hardware-level format on a hard disk. You need to do this only if you have installed a new hard disk that has never received this type of low-level format, or if you are having serious problems with the hard disk in your computer. (This is not the same type of format you can perform with the MS-DOS FORMAT command.) Introduction 3
