Now you should be able to use your computer as desired. Press a

key such as Enter to see if the keyboard accepts your command.

If you entered an incorrect password, the computer does not

respond. Type the correct password, press

Enter,

and try using

the computer again.

Note
You cannot change or delete a power-on password and remain

in network server mode. You must run Setup on the

Reference diskette to turn off network server mode first. See
Chapter 2 for instructions. Then you can change or delete the

password by following the instructions in Chapter 3.

If you forget the power-on password, see “Password Problems”

in Appendix A.

Using Expanded Memory Beyond 640KB

The Equity 386SX/20 PLUS comes with 2MB of random access

memory. MS-DOS and your application programs that run
under MS-DOS use the first 640KB of memory. You can use the

unused memory above 640KB as extended memory, or you can
use it as expanded memory, as described below.

Expanded memory can be used by application programs (such as

Lotus® 1-2-3®) that support the Lotus/Intel/Microsoft Expanded

Memory Specification (LIM 4.0 EMS). To take advantage of

expanded memory, you need to use a memory manager to
convert the computer’s extended memory to expanded memory.

If you selected a memory management software package when

you bought your Equity 386SX/20 PLUS, you can use the
memory manager with either version of MS-DOS. Just follow

the instructions included with the package.
