Turning On the Computer
After you set up your system, you’re ready to turn on the power and
start using your Equity I+. But before you do turn it on, read the following
safety rules.
Safety rules

Never turn the computer on or off with a disk drive protector sheet in
the disk drive.

Do not attempt to dismantle any part of the computer. Only remove the
top cover to install and remove option cards. If there is a hardware
problem you cannot solve after reading Chapter 4 on troubleshooting,
or if you want to install an optional 8087 math coprocessor, consult your
Epson dealer.
To install or remove option cards, always turn off the power, disconnect
the main power cord, and wait for a few minutes before removing the
cover from the computer.
Do not unplug cables from the computer while the power switch is on.
Never turn off or reset the computer when one of the drive lamps is on.
This can destroy data stored on a disk or make a whole disk unusable.
Always wait at least five seconds after you switch the power off before
switching it on again. Turning it off and on rapidly can damage the
computer’s circuitry.
Never leave a beverage on top of, or next to, your system or any of its
components. Spilled liquid damages the circuitry of your components.
Now you are ready to turn on your system. It’s a good idea to turn on
the monitor and any peripheral devices before you turn on the main unit.
First, make sure the power cord is plugged into the power inlet on the
back panel of the main unit. Then plug the power cord into a three-prong,
120-volt, grounded electrical outlet. Turn on the monitor so you can see the
messages that appear as your computer starts up. If you have a printer or
other peripheral device, turn it on next.
