If you want to use any of the memory on your card as

expanded memory, see “Using Expanded Memory Beyond

640KB” in Chapter 4.

Also see “Post-installation Setup,” below, for more
information on setting up your computer for use with an
option card.

Post-installation Setup

After you install or remove options such as memory modules,
a math coprocessor, or a disk drive, you need to run the
SETUP program to update the computer’s configuration
information. For example, if you add a hard disk drive, you
need to let the computer know the type of drive you have
installed. See Chapter 2 for instructions.

If you replaced the battery for the real-time clock and CMOS

RAM, you must run SETUP to reconfigure your system and

reset the clock. See Chapter 2.

Note

If you installed additional extended memory and want to
use any of it as expanded memory, see “Using Expanded

Memory Beyond 640KB” in Chapter 4 for instructions.

If you install a hard disk drive that has never received a

hardware level format (such as some non-Epson hard disk
drives), you need to format the disk. Check the manual that
came with your drive, and then, if necessary, follow the
instructions in Appendix C to format your new hard disk.

If you have added a hard disk drive and you want to load

MS-DOS or another operating system from that drive, you

need to install the operating system on it. See your MS-DOS

Installation Guide or the documentation that came with your
operating system for instructions.
