How to use this guide
This guide contains simple, step-by-step instructions for
installing add-on options in your Apricot XEN-LS computer.
Together with the
XEN-LS Owner’s Handbook, this guide
should be your only source of information when installing:
* AT/ISA expansion cards
* Apricot memory module
* Intel 387SX or 487SX coprocessor
* Apricot external 5.25" floppy disk drive
For a more general discussion of these options, and why
you might find them useful, read Chapter 2, “Using the
computer”, in the
XEN-LS Owner’s Handbook.
Before you purchase and install any add-on you should be
thoroughly familiar with the installation instructions in this
guide and with the dismantling instructions provided in the
XEN-LS Owner’s Handbook. If, having read the
instructions, you are not confident about performing them
yourself, ask your Apricot supplier or an authorized Apricot
maintainer to install the option for you.
The only tools you will need are two small screwdrivers,
one flat-blade and one cross-head. Use of anti-static
equipment such as a static discharge mat and wrist strap is
also strongly advised.
Apricot continually seeks to improve its products. Because
of this, the layout of the motherboard in your XEN-LS may
differ slightly from that illustrated in this guide. For the
most up-to-date information, consult the layout
diagram which you will find inside the XEN-LS (usually
on top of the power supply unit).
