There are three ways to reset; you should use them in this order:

1.If you are using MS-DOS, press Ctrl and Alt together with the Del key on the numeric keypad at the right of the keyboard. The screen goes blank for a moment, and any system disk in drive A reloads. If the problem is not corrected after trying this, try the second method.

2.Press the RESET button under the hinged flap beneath the disk drives. This method works even when the keyboard is not responding. If this fails to have any effect, try the third method.

3.Remove any diskettes from the disk drives. Turn off the monitor and any peripherals, and then switch the Equity I+ off. Wait for five seconds, then switch the power back on.

Turning Off the Computer

Before you turn off your computer, save your data, exit the program you are using, and remove all diskettes from the disk drives. Turn off the monitor and peripherals and then turn off the main unit, using the switch on the front panel.

Using Disks and Disk Drives

The disk drives in your computer let you store your work and programs on removable diskettes for future use. All Equity I+ systems have at least one disk drive; others may also have a hard disk drive, either built-in or as an external unit.

This section gives you some background information on how disks work and tells you how to:

•Choose floppy disks (diskettes)

•Care for your disks and disk drives

•Insert and remove diskettes

•Write-protect your data

•Make backup copies

•Use a single floppy disk drive

•Use a hard disk drive.
