Epson I+ - Manual (Page 41)

Chapter 3
Installing Option Cards
Option cards are accessories you can add to your Equity I+ to provide
extra system capabilities. For example, you may want to install a memory
expansion card or an auto-dial modem.
You can install up to five option cards in the Equity I+ at one time, but
one position is always occupied by the video card that operates your moni-
tor.
Option cards are available from Epson as well as other vendors. In addi-
tion, multifunction boards (available from other vendors) allow you to add
other features without using additional slots. Consult your Epson dealer for
more information.
Before you install an option card in your main unit, you need to remove
the cover from your Equity I+.
This chapter describes how to:
l
Remove and replace the main unit’s cover
l
Install and remove an option card.
Removing the Cover
WARNING: Never open the case of the Equity I+ while it is
plugged into an electrical outlet. Turn off the power
switch to the main unit and any other peripheral
devices connected to it, wait for a few minutes, then
unplug the power cable before removing the case.
1. If the monitor is on top of the computer, disconnect it and move it to
one side. Disconnect the keyboard and set it out of the way too. Turn
the main unit around so that the back panel faces you.
