Starting the System
After you complete steps 1 through 5, you’re ready to turn on
the power and start using your Equity LT-286e computer. Read
these safety rules first to avoid accidentally damaging your
computer or injuring yourself:
Cl Do not attempt to dismantle any part of the computer. If
there is a hardware problem you cannot solve after reading
Chapter 4 on troubleshooting, consult your Epson dealer.
CI Never turn off or reset your computer while a disk drive is
in use; this can destroy data stored on the disk or make the
entire disk unusable. The disk drive indicators are located
on the status indicator bar. The right disk-in-use icon
indicates that the hard disk drive is in use. The left disk-in-
use icon indicates that the built-in diskette drive is in use.
D Always wait at least five seconds after you switch off the
power before switching it back on. Turning the power off
and on rapidly can damage the computer’s circuitry.
Cl Do not leave a beverage on top of or next to your system.
Spilled liquid can damage the circuitry of your components.
Turning On the Computer
After you have connected the AC adapter and power cord, you
can turn on your computer. Leave the AC adapter connected
while you use the computer.
You can turn on your computer with or without a system
diskette in the diskette drive. For now, leave the drive empty.
