Read This First

Before you set up your EPSON®EL 486UC+ computer, read

this card for guidelines on how to get started. Also keep it

around for future reference because it provides important

information about your system and how to get technical

assistance when you need it.

Setting Up Your System

Most systems sold by EPSON Direct” are preconfigured; all the

hardware and software (such as MS-DOS® and Microsoft®

Windows™, is already installed. However, be sure to follow

these general procedures when setting up your system:

Install any internal options. If you purchased additional,

optional equipment that goes inside the computer—such as

option cards, memory modules, a hard disk, or a diskette

drive-you should install these devices first. See Chapters 4

and 5 in your User's Guide for instructions.

Set up the computer. Follow the steps in Chapter 1 of the

User's Guide to connect your system components and in

Chapter 2 to run the SETUP program.

Install your Windows applications and other software.

Install any Windows applications and other software

programs you plan to use. See the documentation that

came with the application programs for instructions.

Note

Be sure to make backup copies of all the diskettes you

use to set up your system and install your software.

Install VGA device drivers and utilities. If you have a

monitor that supports resolutions over 640 x 480, you’ll

probably want to use some of the VGA device drivers and

utilities that came with your computer to enhance the

display capabilities of your built-in VGA adapter. Drivers

for Windows have been installed on the hard disk. To

install additional drivers, see the README file on the

Utility diskette for instructions.

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. Adjust only those controls that are

covered by the operating instructions.

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.

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.

Beim AnschluB des Computers an die Netzversorgung muB

sichergestellt werden, dab die Gebäudeinstallation mit einem

16 A Überstromschutzschalter abgesichert ist.

lntroduction

Your new EPSON®computer offers the following features:

Intel®486SW 25 MHz, 486DW 33 MHz, 486DX2/ 50, or

486DX2/ 66 MHz microprocessor

4MB of internal memory, expandable to 64MB

System and video BIOS shadow RAM

SKI3 of internal processor cache, with support for 64KB,

128KB, or 256KB of external cache

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

Math coprocessor built into the microprocessor on the DX

and DX2 systems

Built-in VGA port

Two built-in serial ports and one built-in parallel port

One built-in PSI 2TMcompatible keyboard port and one

built-in PS/ 2 compatible mouse port

Three 16-bit, full-length and two 8-bit, half-length ISA

option slots (if your system has a DXor DX2 processor,

access to the bottom 16-bit slot may be restricted by the

heat sink/ fan assembly on the processor)

Support for up to four storage devices (two externally

accessible and two internal)

Password security.

Introduction 1

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 shadow RAM feature speeds up processing by moving the

system and video BIOS into the RAM area of memory.

With the standard 512KB of video RAM, the VGA controller

supports standard resolutions up to 640 x 480 in 16 colors and

extended resolutions up to 640 x 480 in 256 colors or 1024 x 768

in 16 colors (interlaced or non-interlaced). When you upgrade

to 1MB of video RAM, the system supports extended

resolutions up to 1024 x 768 in 256 colors.

Your system may have been configured for you. If so,

everything you need to get started is already in place. Your

hardware configuration options have been set to ensure

optimal system performance. The hard disk drive already

contains the MS-DOS®operating system and Microsoft@

Windows.TMIn addition, the drivers needed to take advantage

of your system’s enhanced video resolutions have been

installed for you. Just connect your keyboard, mouse, and

monitor and you’re ready to go.

VGA Drivers

Your computer comes with VGA drivers for use with the

integrated VGA interface. With these drivers, you can take

advantage of the extended VGA features such as high

resolutions and 132-column text mode when you run popular

application programs. If your system was configured for you,

these drivers are already installed. If you need to install them

yourself, a README file on your Utility diskette describes how

to install the VGA drivers for common application programs.
