Epson LT - 286e - Manual (Page 102)

Appendix A
DIP Switches and Slide Switches
This appendix describes the DIP switches and slide switches you
set to define your system’s configuration. The computer uses this
information each time you turn it on.
If you are using the standard LT-286e settings, that is, you are
using the LCD screen in EGA mode, a parallel printer, and
operating at 12 MHz, you do not need to change the DIP
switches or slide switches.
If you are not using the standard settings, you need to define
your system configuration using these switches. Then return to
Chapter 1 to finish setting up your computer.
Setting the DIP Switches
The Equity LT-286e has two sets of DIP switches that you access
from the bottom of the computer. These are small, on/off
switches that provide your computer with information each
time you turn it on. A DIP switch is either on (up) or off
(down). To change a setting, use a hard, thin object, such as a
small screwdriver.
The first set has ten switches that control the type of external
monitor you are using and the display configuration. The
second set has ten switches that control the diskette drive, the
CRT/LCD display mode, and the parallel and serial interface
configuration.
Read this section to make sure the current DIP switch settings
match your system configuration.
