Epson 386SX - Manual (Page 79)

WARNING
Do not reset the computer to exit a program unless you have
to. Some application programs classify and store new data
when you exit the program. If you reset the computer without
properly exiting the program, you may lose data.
To reset the computer, MS-DOS must be either on the hard
disk or on a diskette in drive A; so if your computer does not
have a hard disk, insert the Startup diskette in drive A.
There are three ways to reset. Because each is more powerful
than the last, try them in the order listed here:
1. If you are using MS-DOS, hold down Ctrl and Alt and press
the Del key. The screen goes blank for a moment and then
the computer should reload MS-DOS. If it doesn’t, try the
second method.
2. Press the RESET button on the front panel. This method
works even when the computer does not respond to your
keyboard entries. If this does not correct the problem, try
the third method.
3. Remove any diskette(s) from the diskette drive(s). Turn off
the computer and wait five seconds. If your computer does
not have a hard disk, insert the Startup diskette in drive A.
Then turn on the computer.
Using Disks and Disk Drives
The disk drives in your computer allow you to store data on
disk, and then retrieve and use your stored data when you want
to. The Equity 386SX comes with a single diskette drive or one
diskette drive and one hard disk drive. You may add another
diskette or hard disk drive, up to a maximum of three drives
total.
