edge beneath the top edge of the front panel. Finally, lower the back

of the cover so that it is in position.

Secure the cover by replacing the two screws on both sides of the

main unit. Replace the plastic inserts in the side feet by snapping

them into place.

Replace the back panel and the three screws along the top edge.

Return the computer to its original position and reconnect it to the

monitor, the keyboard, and any other peripherals you have.

Check to make sure the power switch is OFF. Reconnect the power

cable to the back of the main unit and to an electrical outlet. Change

the DIP switches if necessary.

Perform any additional procedures in the option card manual. For

example, if the option card needs a program to control it, you may need

to add a command to the programs which start the operating system.

Removing option cards

To remove an option card, first detach any cable connected to the

card and remove the main unit cover; then follow the option card inser-

tion instructions in reverse.

Follow the same safety instructions and make sure you slide the card

straight up and out of the connector to avoid damaging it. Rewrap the

card (preferably with the original packing materials) and place it inside

the box for safe storage. Replace the metal access plate before replacing

the cover of the computer. When you have reassembled the unit, snap in

the plastic access slot cover. Remember to reset any DIP switches if nec-

essary.

Some option cards which support devices like hard disk drives need

special commands to be included in the configuration of the operating

system. If you remove one of these cards, you need to reconfigure the

system.

If you have an Equity with 256K of memory, you can add extra

memory in two ways. A number of option cards are available to expand

the memory up to 640K, and a special Epson memory expansion card is

available from your Epson dealer to expand memory to 512K without

using an option slot.
