Important Safety Instructions

Read all of these instructions and save them for later reference. Follow

all warnings and instructions marked on the computer.

Unplug the computer before cleaning. Clean with a damp cloth only.

Do not spill liquid on the computer.

Do not place the computer on an unstable surface or near a radiator

or heat register.

Do not block or cover the openings in the computer’s cabinet. Do not

insert objects through the slots.

Use only the type of power source indicated on the computer’s label.

Connect all equipment to properly grounded power outlets. Avoid

using outlets on the same circuit as photocopiers or air control

systems that regularly switch on and off.

Do not let the computer’s power cord become damaged or frayed.

If you use an extension cord with the computer, make sure the total

ampere rating of the devices plugged into the extension cord does

not exceed the cord’s ampere rating. Also, make sure the total of all

devices plugged into the wall outlet does not exceed 15 amperes.

Except as specifically explained in this User's Guide, do not attempt

to service the computer yourself.

Unplug the computer and refer servicing to qualified service

personnel under the following conditions:

If the power cord or plug is damaged; if liquid has entered the

computer; if the computer has been dropped or the cabinet damaged;

if the computer does not operate normally or exhibits a distinct

change in performance. Adjust only those controls that are covered

by the operating instructions.

If you plan to use the computer in Germany, observe the following:

To provide adequate short-circuit protection and over-current

protection for this computer, the building installation must be

protected by a 16 Amp circuit breaker.

Introduction

Your new EPSON®computer provides the following features:

Cyrix®486SLC2-50 microprocessor

Energy Star compliant, low-power standby mode for the

hard disk drive and video display

4MB of internal memory, expandable to 16MB

System and video BIOS shadow RAM

512KB of on-board video memory, expandable to 1MB

Built-in local bus SVGA video port

Two built-in serial ports and one built-in bi-directional

parallel port

One built-in PS/2™ compatible keyboard port and one

built-in PS/2 compatible mouse port

1KB of internal cache

Support for relocation of 128KB of memory

High-speed local bus video controller, providing TrueColor

support and resolutions up to 1280 x 1024 in 16 colors with

1MB of video memory

Socket for optional math coprocessor

Five 16-bit, ISA-compatible option slots: three full-length,

and two half-length

Space for up to four mass storage devices (three externally

accessible and one internal)

Introduction 1

On-board support for up to two IDE hard disk drives and

two diskette drives (or one diskette drive and one tape

drive)

Real-time clock and calendar on main system board with

built-in rechargeable battery backup.

The 486SLC microprocessor in this computer is i486SX

instruction set compatible. It features a 32-bit internal/ 16-bit

external data path.

The shadow RAM feature speeds up processing by moving the

system and video BIOS into the RAM area of memory.

Using the built-in interfaces, you can connect most of your

peripheral devices directly to the computer so you do not have

to install option cards. You can use the option slots to enhance

your system with extra functions such as a modem card, a

network controller card, or additional interface ports.

The local bus video interface provides data transfer at the full

speed of the processor, rather than at the standard 8.33 MHz

ISA bus speed.

VGA Drivers

Your computer comes with VGA drivers and utilities for use

with the integrated video interface. With these drivers, you can

take advantage of the extended VGA features such as higher

resolutions and 132-column text mode when you run popular

applications. If your system was configured for you, these

drivers and utilities may be installed on your hard disk. If you

need to install them yourself, see the instructions in Chapter 1.

To obtain drivers for additional applications, call the EPSON

ConnectionSM or access the Epson America Forum on

CompuServe®.

2 Introduction

Energy Savings

In standard configurations, this computer complies with the

United States Environmental Protection Agency’s Energy Star

Program, which promotes the manufacture of energy-efficient

printers, computers, and monitors. Your computer’s

“Green PC” feature places the hard disk drive in a low-power

standby mode when the mouse or keyboard has been inactive

for a specified period of time.

Note

If you have an Energy Star compliant monitor, it also goes

into a low-power standby mode because it isn’t receiving

video signals from your computer. (Screens on

non-compliant monitors go blank, but do not enter a

low-power standby mode.)

Optional Equipment

You can easily upgrade your computer by installing additional

memory and a wide variety of options, as described in

Chapters 3 and 4.

Memory

By adding 1MB or 4MB SIMMs (single inline memory modules)

to the main system board, you can expand the computer’s

memory up to 16MB.

Video Memory

You can increase the video memory in your system to 1MB,

which allows you to use higher resolutions with more colors.

Introduction 3

Drives

Your system supports up to four mass storage devices,

including hard disk drives, diskette drives, a tape drive, a

CD-ROM drive, or an optical drive. As your storage needs

expand, you can install additional drives.

Math Coprocessor

You may want to install an optional math coprocessor, which

allows your computer to perform mathematical calculations

and process graphics more quickly.

How to Use This Manual

This manual contains the information you need to get the best

results from your computer. You do not have to read

everything; check the following chapter summaries.

Chapter 1 provides simple instructions for setting up your

system, turning it on and off, and connecting peripheral

devices such as the monitor and printer. It also describes

running the SETUP program to define your computer’s

configuration.

Chapter 2 covers general operating procedures, such as using

diskettes, resetting the computer, and changing the processor

speed.

Chapter 3 describes how to remove and replace the computer’s

cover, change jumper settings, and install optional equipment

such as option cards and memory modules.

Chapter 4 explains how to install and remove drives.

Chapter 5 contains troubleshooting tips.

4 Introduction

Appendix A lists the specifications of your computer.

At the end of this manual you’ll find a Glossary, an Index, and

a list of EPSON’s U.S. and international marketing locations.
