Epson Apex, User Manual

Page: 99 / 158

Post-installation Setup
With the option card in place, your Apex may need a few
adjustments to accommodate its new configuration. If you have
already replaced the computer’s cover and reconnected the
power cord, you may now need to change your DIP switch
settings to reflect the new configuration. For example, if you
add an extra parallel interface, you need to change switch 2 so
the computer recognizes the additional interface. See Appendix
A for more information on DIP switch settings.
NOTE
When you change DIP switch settings, you must turn the
computer off, then turn it on for the setting to be in effect.
You may also need to add some commands to the configura-
tion files on your system diskette as well. Your MS-DOS
reference manual provides you with instructions.
When you finish installing option cards and reconfiguring the
system, you should test the option if possible. Some option cards
come with their own diagnostic test programs.
Removing Option Cards
If you find that you need to remove an option card, first turn off
the computer and unplug the power cord, then detach any
cables connected to the option card. Disconnect the monitor
and keyboard, and remove the computer cover. Then check the
option card installation instructions and follow them
in reverse.
Be sure to follow all the same safety instructions you did while
installing the card, and make sure you pull the card straight up
