There are three ways to reset. Because each is more powerful than
the last, try them in the order listed here:
1.
2.
3.
If you are using MS-DOS, hold down
Ctrl
and
Alt
and press the
Del
key on the numeric keypad at the right of the keyboard. The screen
goes blank for a moment and then MS-DOS reloads. (The operating
system must be on either the diskette in the top drive or the hard
disk.) If this does not correct the problem, try the second method.
Press the reset button under the cover below the disk drives. This
method works even when the keyboard does not respond to your
commands. If this does not correct the problem, try the third
method.
Remove any diskettes from the floppy disk drives. Use the power
switch under the cover at the top right of the front panel to turn off
the Equity II. Wait 5 seconds and then turn on the power again.
Turning Off the Equity II
Before you turn off your system, exit the program you are using and
then remove all diskettes from the disk drives. If you have a hard disk, it
is best to run the MS-DOS HDSIT program to move the read/write
heads away from the recording area before you turn off the computer
(see your MS-DOS manual for instructions).
Turn off the main unit first-open the cover at the top right of the
front panel and press the power switch. The power LED lamp above the
power switch goes out. Then turn off the monitor, the printer, and any
other peripherals you have.
Note: In addition to the power switch, you can use software to turn the
Equity II on and off. The MS-DOS SETUP program allows you to
set a time when you want the computer to turn on automatically.
You can also turn off the Equity II using a program that turns off
the computer. See your MS-DOS manual for more information.
