systems that regularly switch on and off.
Do not let the computer’s power cord become damaged or frayed.
If you use an extension cord with the computer, make sure the total
ampere rating of the devices plugged into the extension cord does
not exceed the cord’s ampere rating. Also, make sure the total of all
devices plugged into the wall outlet does not exceed 15 amperes.
Except as specifically explained in this Users Guide, do not attempt to
service the computer yourself.
Unplug the computer and refer servicing to qualified service
personnel under the following conditions:
If the power cord or plug is damaged; if liquid has entered the
computer; if the computer has been dropped or the cabinet damaged;
if the computer does not operate normally or exhibits a distinct
change in performance. Adjust only those controls that are covered
by the operating instructions.
If you plan to use the computer in Germany, observe the following:
To provide adequate short-circuit protection and over-current
protection for this computer, the building installation must be
protected by a 16 Amp circuit breaker.

S’assurer aussi que cette intensité ne dépasse jamais la somme de 15
amperes pour l’ensemble des appareils.
Sauf dans les cas spécifiques expliqués dans ce manuel de l’usager,
ne pas essayer d’entretenir ou de réparer l’ordinateur soi-méme.
Debrancher l’ordinateur et contacter un technicien qualifié dans les
circonstances suivantes:
Si le cordon ou la prise sont abîmés; si un liquide a pénétré à
l’intérieur de l’appareil; si on a laissé tomber l’appareil ou si le boîtier
est endommagé; si l’ordinateur ne fonctionne pas normalement ou
fonctionne d'une maniére trés différente de l’ordinaire. N’ajuster que
les commandes décrites dans les directives.
Pour utiliser l’ordinateur en Allemagne, il est nécessaire que le
bâtiment soit muni d’un disjoncteur de 16 amperes pour protéger
l’ordinateur contre les courts-circuits et le survoltage.

Your new EPSON® computer is a full powered, full featured
system that gives you complete access for all your business and
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.
With the computer’s 586-class processor and a generous 8MB of
standard memory you can run a vast array of the latest
programs, utilities, and games designed for productivity and
fun.
The system’s state-of-the-art PC1 (Peripheral Component
Interconnect) bus architecture enables faster and more efficient
response from your VGA monitor and any PC1 devices you
may install, such as PC1 option cards and IDE (Integrated Drive
Electronics) devices.
When you’re ready for even more capability, you can expand
your system, video, and cache memory, install option cards
and additional drives, and upgrade your processor.
Computer Features
Your computer offers the following features:
586-class processor
At least 8MB of RAM (Random Access Memory),
expandable to 128MB
PCI components on the main system board provide a direct
line for caching, memory, and device control for all PCI
devices
Introduction 1
High-speed, PCI VGA controller with an integrated 24-bit
RAMDAC and 64-bit DRAM interface
Two PCI, ATA-2 compatible, enhanced IDE interfaces
supporting up to four IDE devices, such as hard disk drives
and CD-ROM drives (two on each interface)
16KB of internal cache in the processor and up to 1MB of
external cache on the main system board
1MB of video 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 two PCI option slots supporting up to two PCI
bus m aster cards
On the slim line computer, space for up to four mass storage
devices-three externally accessible and one internal; on
the tower computer, space for up to seven mass storage
devices-four externally accessible and three internal.
Power-saving Features
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 “deep
green”features place the CPU, video, and hard disk drives in
power-saving modes when the mouse and keyboard have been
inactive for a specified period of time. You can customize the
deep green features in the SETUP program.
2 Introduction
ISA and PCI Expansion Buses
Your computer includes two expansion buses for two types of
option cards: ISA and PCI. The ISA bus transfers data at
8.33 MHz for up to three 16-bit ISA option cards. This bus is
especially suitable for fax/ modem cards, sound cards, and
SCSI (Small Computer System Interface) cards for scanners.
The PCI bus provides extremely fast data transfer (33 MHz) for
up to two high-performance PCI cards, such as network
adapters and high-speed video cards. The computer supports
plug and play technology that automatically configures the
resources used by PCI cards, such as interrupt requests and
memory addresses.
System and video BIOS
The computer’s system and video BIOS are contained in a flash
ROM device on the main system board. The BIOS includes the
following:
ISA and PCI compatibility
Power-on diagnostics tests
SETUP program
PCI auto-configuration utility
BIOS upgrade and recovery code
Your computer supports shadowing of the system and video
BIOS to allow the BIOS routines to run from fast, 64-bit RAM
instead of from the slower, S-bit flash ROM device.
Introduction 3
PCI Auto-configuration
The PCI auto-configuration utility works with the SETUP
program to support PCI option cards. When you turn on the
computer after installing a PCI option card, the BIOS
automatically configures interrupts, DMA channels, I/O
addresses, and other settings. You can also customize these
resources in SETUP.
BIOS Upgrades
Because the BIOS is stored in a flash ROM device, you can
easily upgrade the BIOS information without replacing the
chip. You can upgrade the BIOS by running a utility from a
diskette, hard disk, or network server.
