Introduction
This manual describes how to initialize your Epson
®
Equity™ I+ after
it is assembled, and how to test the condition of your computer and
peripherals. To set up and test your system, you use a set of programs called
diagnostics. The five main diagnostics programs are:
Setup
Use this program when you first set up the
computer,
and any time you change the
system’s permanent date or time or the serial
port configuration.
Format hard disk
Format diskette
Use this program to check or format the
entire hard disk after installation.
Use this program to format a diskette for use
by the System diagnostics tests. This pro-
gram is provided for convenience only, so
that you can format a diskette without exit-
ing diagnostics.
System diagnostics
Use these programs whenever you add or
remove optional devices, or if you suspect
that the system is defective. You also run
these diagnostics after moving the system
from one place to another and after replacing
the internal battery.
Prepare hard disk
Use this program before moving the com-
for moving
puter to another location.
The diagnostics programs are stored on your diagnostics diskette, which
is labelled Diagnostics and System-dependent Utilities for the Equity I+. As
well as the diagnostics, this diskette contains three utilities that are used
exclusively by the Equity I+. These utilities are:
HELP
This utility provides information on the
MS™-DOS commands.
ROMBIOS
This utility displays the computer name and
ROM BIOS version number.
SYSTAT
This utility displays the system parameters.
