If you purchased any optional equipment that goes inside the computer-such as option cards, memory modules, or drives-you should install these devices before you connect your computer. See Chapters 3 and 4 for instructions.

Setting the Voltage Selector Switch

Your system is powered by a 200 watt power supply. The power supply voltage is controlled by a voltage selector switch on the computer’s back panel. You can set this switch to 110 VAC or 220 VAC.

EPSON ships the computer with the voltage selector switch set to 110 VAC. This setting is appropriate for line source voltages between 100 and 120 VAC, and is generally the appropriate setting to select if you plan to use your computer in North America, South America, or Japan.

If you plan to operate the computer in the United Kingdom, Europe, or some South American countries, you will probably need to reset the voltage selector switch to 220 VAC. Doing so allows your computer to handle line source voltages between 200 and 240 VAC, which are standard in Europe.

Caution

Before you turn on the power to your system, make sure the voltage selector is set to the appropriate setting for the electrical power source in your location or you will seriously damage your system.
