Turn off the computer, wait at least five seconds, and then
turn it back on. After the computer completes the power-on
self test, the screen displays the date prompt. Press Enter twice
to accept the date and time shown.
The C> prompt displays, indicating that the system has
successfully loaded from your hard disk.
From now on, each time you turn on or reset your
computer, it automatically loads MS-DOS from the hard disk.
Just make sure drive A is empty.
Drive Assignments
MS-DOS always recognizes the hard disk as drive C.
The diskette drive on the right side of the computer is
drive A. If you have connected an external diskette drive to
your Equity LT, MS-DOS identifies it as drive B, unless you
have turned off DIP switch 2 on the back panel to make the
external drive A.
Hard Disk Power Switch
The hard disk in your Equity LT has its own power switch.
Leave this switch on at all times unless you will be using the
computer without the AC adapter; in this case you may want
to turn off the hard disk when you are not using it to conserve
the battery’s charge. If so, see “Turning Off the Hard Disk” in
Appendix A.
When you turn off the computer, it automatically turns off
the hard disk even though the switch is on.
