Chapter 1

Setting Up Your System

Setting up your Epson Equity LT-286 portable computer is easy. Just follow the steps in this chapter. They describe how to attach the AC adapter, start MS-DOS, and copy the system diskettes that come with your Equity LT-286.

After you have followed these steps, turn to Chapter 2 for information about the setup program. You must run this program to give your computer the information it needs to get started. Then follow the instructions in Chapter 3 to prepare your hard disk.

Do not turn on the computer, printer, or any peripherals until the instructions tell you to. Otherwise, you may damage some part of your equipment.
