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.
