(If you have a second diskette drive, be sure to remove the card from
that drive too.)
Save the protector card and reinsert it whenever you move the

2 Choosing a Location
Before you set up your Equity 386, it’s important to choose a
comfortable, convenient location where it can run properly. Select a
location that provides the following:
l
A large, sturdy desk or table that can easily support the weight of

ventilation.
l
Good air circulation. Air must be able to move freely under the
