Epson Equity II - Manual (Page 43)

Chapter 4
Installing Option Cards
Option cards are accessories you can install in your Equity II to pro-
vide extra capabilities. For example, you can add a hard disk, another
monitor, an auto-dial modem, or a mouse.
The Equity II has five slots for S-bit option cards so it can hold up to
five cards. If your Equity II has a hard disk, a hard disk controller card
occupies one option slot.
You can buy option cards from Epson as well as other vendors.
Multifunction cards that allow you to add features without using multi-
ple option card slots are also available. Consult your Epson dealer for
more information.

Removing the Main Unit Cover
To install an option card, you need to remove the cover of the Equity II.
WARNING: Never open the cover of the Equity II while it is plugged into
an electrical outlet. Before you open the cover, turn off the
power switches on the main unit and each peripheral, let
the computer stand for a few minutes, and then unplug the
power cable.
1. If the monitor is on top of the computer, move it to one side. Turn the
main unit around so the back panel faces you.
