Post-installation Setup

After you install or remove options such as memory modules, a math coprocessor, or a disk drive, you must run SETUP to update the computer’s configuration. For example, if you add a hard disk, you need to let the computer know the type of drive it is. See Chapter 2 of the Setup Guide for instructions.

If you replaced the battery for the real-time clock and CMOS RAM, you must run SETUP to reconfigure your system and reset the clock. See Chapter 2 of the Setup Guide.

If you install a hard disk drive that has never received a hardware level format (such as some non-Epson hard disk drives), you need to format the disk. Check the manual that came with your drive, and then, if necessary, follow the instructions in Appendix B to format your new hard disk.

If you have added a hard disk drive and you want to load MS-DOS or another operating system from that drive, you need to install the operating system on it. See the documentation that came with your operating system for instructions.

If you install an optional memory card, use the setup program that comes with it to configure the computer for use with the card. See your memory card manual for instructions.

Additionally, you may need to add some commands to your configuration files. See your operating system manual and the manual that comes with your optional equipment for instructions.

You may also want to test a newly-installed option. Some options come with their own diagnostics test programs, and you can use the diagnostic programs on your Reference diskette to test system memory, serial and parallel ports, disk drives, monitors and display adapters. See Appendix B for instructions.
