Epson Y16499100301 - Manual (Page 25)

Note
If you plan to connect a color monitor or an external diskette
drive to your computer, do it at this point. For instructions on
connecting the monitor, see Appendix A, “Options and
Maintenance.” For instructions on connecting an external
drive, see the instructions that came with the drive you
bought. If your computer already has two internal diskette
drives and you connect an external drive, the internal diskette
drive on the left side of the computer is disabled.
Be sure to set the computer’s DIP switches correctly if you
connect either of these devices to your Equity LT. See ‘Setting
the DIP Switches” below.

Setting the DIP Switches
The DIP switches on the Equity LT are set to provide
your computer with information about itself. Each time you
turn it on, the computer checks the DIP switch settings to
determine the LCD mode in use, whether an external diskette
drive is connected, the number of diskette drives in use, and
the type of serial connection.
The Equity LT has two sets of DIP switches: one just above
the keyboard and one on the back panel of the computer. The
set above the keyboard has four switches that control the LCD
screen. The set on the back panel has four switches that
control the diskette drive and parallel and serial interface
configuration.
Your dealer may have set these switches for you. Read this
section, however, to be sure the settings match your system
setup.
Note
Change the DIP switches only while your computer is off.
Otherwise, the new settings may not take effect until you turn
the computer off and then on again.
