Post-installation Setup

After you install or remove options such as memory modules,

a math coprocessor, or a disk drive, you must run SETUP to

update the computer’s configuration. For example, if you add a

hard disk, you need to let the computer know the type of drive

it is. See Chapter 2 of the

Setup Guide

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 of the

Setup Guide.

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 B 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 the documentation that

came with your operating system for instructions.

If you install

an

optional memory card, use the setup program

that comes with it to configure the computer for use with the

card. See your memory card manual for instructions.

Additionally, you may need to add some commands to your

configuration files. See your operating system manual and the

manual that comes with your optional equipment for

instructions.

You may also want to test a newly-installed option. Some

options come with their own diagnostics test programs, and

you can use the diagnostic programs on your Reference

diskette to test system memory, serial and parallel ports, disk

drives, monitors and display adapters. See Appendix B for

instructions.
