Epson equity y14499113001 User Manual

This manual describes how to initialize your Epson

®

 Equity™ I+ after

it is assembled, and how to test the condition of your computer and

peripherals. To set up and test your system, you use a set of programs called

diagnostics. The five main diagnostics programs are:

Setup

Use this program when you first set up the
computer, and any time you change the

system’s permanent date or time or the serial
port configuration.

Format hard disk

Format diskette

Use this program to check or format the

entire hard disk after installation.

Use this program to format a diskette for use

by the System diagnostics tests. This pro-

gram is provided for convenience only, so

that you can format a diskette without exit-

ing diagnostics.

System diagnostics

Use these programs whenever you add or

remove optional devices, or if you suspect

that the system is defective. You also run

these diagnostics after moving the system

from one place to another and after replacing
the internal battery.

Prepare hard disk

Use this program before moving the com-

for moving

puter to another location.

The diagnostics programs are stored on your diagnostics diskette, which

is labelled Diagnostics and System-dependent Utilities for the Equity I+. As

well as the diagnostics, this diskette contains three utilities that are used

exclusively by the Equity I+. These utilities are:

HELP

This utility provides information on the

MS™-DOS commands.

ROMBIOS

This utility displays the computer name and

ROM BIOS version number.

SYSTAT

This utility displays the system parameters.
