Chapter 1

Setting Up Your System

Setting up your Apex personal computer is easy. Just follow the nine steps in this chapter. You may want to leave the back cover foldout of this book open so you can refer to the two illustrations identifying the different parts of the computer.

N o t e

If you have experience setting up computers, you may prefer to follow the brief instructions on the Read This First card included with this manual. (Turn to this chapter if you have any questions, and for instructions on copying your system diskettes.)

When you finish setting up your computer, go on to Chapter 2 and follow the instructions there to run the Setup program. The Setup program updates the list of equipment installed in the computer. You need to run this program the first time you use your computer and any time options are added or changed.

1 Unpacking

As you unpack the different parts of your computer system, be sure to inspect each piece. If anything is missing or looks damaged, contact the place where it was purchased for missing items or replacements. If you cannot obtain the necessary part or parts, call your Epson Customer Care Center for assistance. Please have the computer’s serial number ready when you call.
