Epson LT-286 - Manual (Page 12)

How To Use This Manual
This user’s manual explains how to set up and care for your Equity
LT-286. It also describes how to use your computer and run
diagnostic checks.
The eight steps in Chapter 1 explain how to set up your computer
and prepare it for use. On the inside back cover is a foldout
illustration of the computer parts; you may want to refer to this
while you set up the computer.
Chapter 2 tells you how to run the setup program. The setup
program gives the computer information about what kind of
equipment you have installed and how that equipment is
configured. You need to run setup once, when you first begin
working with your computer. Afterward, you need to run setup
only if you change the configuration.
Chapter 3 explains the procedures for preparing your hard disk.
Unless your dealer has already set up the disk for you, you must
follow the steps described in this chapter before using your hard
disk.
Chapter 4 describes general operating procedures and explains how
to use and care for your disks and disk drives.
Chapter 5 provides basic instructions for using MS-DOS with your
computer. You can find more detailed information about MS-DOS
in the MS-DOS Reference Manual.
Appendix A explains how to attach an external color monitor to
your Equity LT-286. To install other options, see the instructions
that come with the option. For dealer-installed options, contact an
authorized Epson dealer or Customer Care Center. (See the next
section, “Where To Get Help,” for details.)
If you encounter any problems while using your Equity LT-286,
check the troubleshooting guidelines in Appendix B.
Appendix C provides information on the power-on diagnostics,
which you need if your computer has trouble starting up.
