Introduction
Your new EPSON
®
computer is a full powered, full featured
system that gives you complete access for all your business or
home computer needs. And because your computer is plug and
play compliant and designed to take advantage of Microsoft
®
Windows
®
95, you’ll be able to use all the latest technology and
software.
With the computer’s high-performance processor and memory
you can run a vast array of the latest programs, utilities, and
games designed for productivity and fun.
Your system’s state-of-the-art PCI (Peripheral Component
Interconnect) bus architecture gives you fast and efficient
access to both PCI and IDE option cards. It also provides PCI
performance for IDE drives and your VGA or high-resolution
monitor.
And when you’re ready for even more capability, you can
install option cards or additional drives, upgrade your
processor, and expand your system and video memory.
Computer Features
Your computer offers the following features:
Upgradable 486-class processors
4
or 8MB of RAM (Random Access Memory), expandable
to 132MB using SIMMs
PCI-based system board providing PCI caching, memory,
bus control, and video control, as well as EIDE (Enhanced
Integrated Drive Electronics) and diskette drive device
control
Introduction 1
High-speed, PCI video controller with 32-bit DRAM video
interface and 32-bit PCI interface
Two PCI ATA-2 compatible IDE interfaces supporting up
to four IDE devices, such as hard disk drives and CD-ROM
drives (two on each interface)
8KB of internal cache in the processor
512KB or lMB of onboard video memory for resolutions
from 640 x 480 True Color™ support up to 1280 x 1024 with
16-color support (noninterlaced); memory expandable to
2MB
Three Energy Star compliant power-saving modes for the
CPU, video, and hard disk drives in standard
configurations
Three 16-bit, ISA (Industry Standard Architecture) option
slots and one PCI option slot supporting one PCI bus
option card
Space for up to three mass storage devices, two externally
accessible and one internal.
Power-saving Feature
In standard configurations, this computer complies with the
United States Environmental Protection Agency’s Energy Star
Program, which promotes the manufacture of energy-efficient
printers, computers, and monitors. Your computer’s
power-saving feature places the CPU, video, and hard disk
drives in three different power-saving modes when the mouse
and keyboard have been inactive for a specified period of time.
You can customize the power-saving feature in SETUP.
2 Introduction
ISA and PCI Expansion Buses
Your computer includes expansion buses for two types of
option cards: ISA and PCI. The PCI bus provides extremely fast
data transfer (33 MHz) for a high-performance PCI card, such
as a high-speed video card. PCI cards use plug and play
technology that automatically configures resources used by the
card, such as interrupt requests and memory addresses.
The ISA bus transfers data at 8.33 MHz for up to three 16-bit
ISA option cards. You can use these slots for standard ISA 8-or
16-bit cards such as fax/modem cards, sound cards, and SCSI
(Small Computer System Interface) cards.
SVGA Feature Connector
If you install a high-resolution graphics adapter card or a
full-motion, multimedia card, you can connect it to the
computer’s SVGA (Super Video Graphics Array) feature
connector. This allows you to use the adapter’s special graphics
features while accessing the standard SVGA signals provided
by your main system board.
System and Video BIOS
The computer’s system and video BIOS are contained in a flash
memory device on the main system board, which you can
upgrade using special software, without replacing the chip.
Your computer supports shadowing of the system and video
BIOS to allow BIOS routines to run from fast, 32-bit RAM
instead of from the slower ROM devices.
