Installing Options
You can enhance the performance of your Equity IIe by adding a
variety of options, including the following:
An 80287 math coprocessor
Memory modules
A memory card
Other option cards.
A math coprocessor speeds up the numeric calculations your
computer performs when using certain application software. If
you want to install a math coprocessor in your computer, ask
your authorized Epson dealer to do it for you.
Memory modules allow you to increase the amount of on-board
memory in your computer. This chapter briefly describes the
types and amounts of memory modules you can use in the
Equity IIe. If you want to install memory modules in your
computer, however, ask your dealer for help.
An option card is a circuit board you install in your computer to
add a particular function. A memory card is a type of option
card that increases the total amount of memory in your
computer, over and above any installed memory modules. Other
types of option cards contain a device, such as a modem, or
provide an interface, such as a connector to which you connect
a monitor. This chapter describes how to install option cards
and configure the computer for use with them.
