fonctionne dune maniére très différente de l’ordinaire. N’ajuster que

les commandes décrites clans les directives.

Pour utiliser l’ordinateur en Allemagne, il est nécessaire que le

bâtiment soit muni d'un disjoncteur de 16 ampères pour protéger

l’ordinateur contre les courts-circuits et le survoltage.

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

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.
