Post-installation Setup

After you install or remove a math coprocessor or memory modules, you need to run the Setup program on your Reference diskette to automatically update the computer’s configuration information. If you install or remove any other type of option, such as an option card or a disk drive, you must run Setup to update your settings. For example, if you add a hard disk drive, you need to let the computer know the type of drive you have installed. See Chapter 2 for instructions.

Note

If you installed additional extended memory and want to use any of it as expanded memory, see "Using Expanded Memory Beyond 640KB” in Chapter 4 for more information.

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 your MS-DOS Installation Guide or the documentation that came with your operating system for instructions.

If you install a memory option card, use the setup program that came 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 in your configuration files. See your MS-DOS Reference Manual and the manual that comes with your option card for instructions.
