Read This First

Before you set up your EPSON® EL 486UC+ computer, read this card for guidelines on how to get started. Also keep it around for future reference because it provides important information about your system and how to get technical assistance when you need it.

Setting Up Your System

Most systems sold by EPSON Direct” are preconfigured; all the hardware and software (such as MS-DOS® and Microsoft® Windows™, is already installed. However, be sure to follow these general procedures when setting up your system:

1.Install any internal options. If you purchased additional, optional equipment that goes inside the computer—such as option cards, memory modules, a hard disk, or a diskette drive-you should install these devices first. See Chapters 4 and 5 in your User's Guide for instructions.

2.Set up the computer. Follow the steps in Chapter 1 of the User's Guide to connect your system components and in Chapter 2 to run the SETUP program.

3.Install your Windows applications and other software.

Install any Windows applications and other software programs you plan to use. See the documentation that came with the application programs for instructions.

Note

Be sure to make backup copies of all the diskettes you use to set up your system and install your software.
