Epson EL 4S/33+

Software Problems

When installing a copy-protected software package, first

try the installation at high speed. If this does not work

properly, select low speed by pressing the Ctrl and Alt

keys and the - key on the numeric keypad

simultaneously. Try loading the program at low speed

and then switching to high speed, if possible.
When using a software package that uses a key disk as its

copy-protection method, try loading it at high speed. If

this does not work, load it at low speed.

Installing Option Cards

Although the EL 4S/33+ will support most full-length

option cards, option cards with an I/F connector on the

back may not fit into the option slot.

Make sum the power requirements of the option cards

you install do not exceed the power supply limitations.

If the computer locks up, the power supply may be

overloaded. On a system with three or more option cards,

the installation of a second hard disk drive may overload

the power supply.

If you are installing a video adapter card, make sure you

disable the built-in VGA by changing jumpers J7, J8, and

J9 to the Off position.

COM Port Assignment

If you want to assign COM1 as COM3, you must set jumper

J24 to position 2-3. If you want to assign COM2 as COM4,

you must set jumper J26 to position 2-3.

System Problems

Do not attempt to install OS/2, version 2.1, from

CD-ROM.
Do not use this computer as a server in a multi-LAN

environment.
When using SCO UNIX, the CMOS settings may be lost

when you boot the system. Also, keyboard input is not

accepted unless the Cyrix cache is disabled or the slow

refresh is set.
You cannot use an external hard disk drive with this

computer.
When an extended memory test is run on QAFE, the

system hangs. This is a problem with the way QAFE

handles Cyrix memory.
