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. 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.

lntroduction

Your EPSON® computer provides powerful system

performance and offers a wide range of enhancement options

System features include:

Choice of microprocessor: Intel® or Cyrix® 486SX/ 25

or /33; DX/ 33, /40, or /50; DX2/ 50 or /66; SX2/50;

DX4/ 75 or / 100, or PentiumTMOverDriveTM

Energy Star compliant, low-power standby mode for the

hard disk drive and video display

4MB or 8MB of internal memory, expandable to 64MB

System and video BIOS shadow RAM

8KB of internal cache integrated into the microprocessor

and support for up to 256KB of optional external cache

memory on the main system board

Integrated high-speed, local bus SVGA video interface

512KB (expandable to 1MB) or 1MB of on-board video

memory

Video resolutions up to 1280 x 1024 in 16 colors (with 1MB

of VRAM)

True Color™ support in the 640 x 480 resolution with 1MB

of VRAM

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

Introduction 1

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)

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

two diskette drives (or one diskette drive and one tape

drive)

Math coprocessor integrated into the DX, DX2, and

Pentium microprocessors

Real-time clock and calendar on main system board with

built-in rechargeable battery backup.

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 allows your system to speed up

processing by moving the system and video BIOS into the

RAM area of memory.

Video

The local bus SVGA video interface provides data transfer at

the full speed of the processor, rather than at the standard

8.33 MHz ISA bus speed.

With 512KB of video RAM, the SVGA 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 and non-interlaced). With 1MB of VRAM, it

supports extended resolutions up to 1280 x 1024 in 16 colors.

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 and keyboard have been

inactive for a specified period of time. It also stops sending

video signals to your monitor.

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.)

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®.

Introduction 3

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, 2MB, 4MB, 8MB, 16MB, or

32MB SIMMs (single inline memory

modules) to the main system board, you

can expand the computer’s memory up to

64MB.

Video

Memory

CPU

Cache

Drives

You can increase the video memory in

your system to 1MB, which allows you to

use higher resolutions with more colors.

Your system supports a variety of

microprocessors, including 5 Volt, 3.3 Volt,

3.45 Volt, and 3.6 Volt processors; see

Chapter 3 for more information.

You can increase the external cache

memory size to 64KB, 128KB, or 256KB by

installing cache SRAM chips on the main

system board, allowing you to access data

faster and improve overall system

performance.

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.

4 Introduction
