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.
