Now you should be able to use your computer as desired. Press a key such as Enter to see if the keyboard accepts your command. If you entered an incorrect password, the computer does not respond. Type the correct password, press Enter, and try using the computer again.
Note
You cannot change or delete a power-on password and remain in network server mode. You must run Setup on the Reference diskette to turn off network server mode first. See Chapter 2 for instructions. Then you can change or delete the password by following the instructions in Chapter 3.
If you forget the power-on password, see “Password Problems” in Appendix A.
Using Expanded Memory Beyond 640KB
The Equity 386SX/20 PLUS comes with 2MB of random access memory. MS-DOS and your application programs that run under MS-DOS use the first 640KB of memory. You can use the unused memory above 640KB as extended memory, or you can use it as expanded memory, as described below.
Expanded memory can be used by application programs (such as Lotus® 1-2-3®) that support the Lotus/Intel/Microsoft Expanded Memory Specification (LIM 4.0 EMS). To take advantage of expanded memory, you need to use a memory manager to convert the computer’s extended memory to expanded memory.
If you selected a memory management software package when you bought your Equity 386SX/20 PLUS, you can use the memory manager with either version of MS-DOS. Just follow the instructions included with the package.
