In addition to these items, you probably bought a compatible video
monitor, such as the Epson monochrome monitor MBM-2095-E or the
Epson RGB color monitor MCM-4035N-E.
As you remove your system components from their cartons, be sure
to inspect each piece. If anything is missing, looks damaged, or seems
wrong, consult your Epson dealer.
You’ll also find a registration card with the main unit. Fill it out now
and mail it to Epson. With your registration card on file, Epson can sup-
port your hardware and software and send you information on product
updates.
Be sure to keep your packing materials. They provide the best pro-
tection possible for your computer if you need to move or ship it later.
Choosing a Location
Before you set up your new system, choose an appropriate place.
Whether you use your computer at home or in the office, you need to
find a comfortable, convenient location where the Equity II can run
properly.
