Installation/Support Tips Installing Diskette Drives Cl Make sure that the drive type has been correctly selected in the SETUP program. Ll Make sure that you enable the diskette drive controller in the SETUP program. EPSON ActionPC 2600, ActionPC 5500 Installing Hard Disk Drives If you are installing a drive that cannot use the embedded IDE interface (such as an ESDI drive), it is recommended that you use a 16-bit, AT-type hard disk controller. If you install a non-IDE hard disk drive and controller card, you must use SETUP to disable the built-in IDE hard disk drive interface. When installing a hard disk drive, use the autodetection feature in SETUP to select the correct type for the drive. If this feature does not produce a match for the drive, you can define your own drive type by selecting type 47 from the Master Disk option on the Standard options window. You can then enter the drive's parameters yourself. Software Problems Cl When installing a copy-protected software package, first try the installation at high speed. If this does not work properly, select low speed by pressing Ctrl Alt - (on the numeric keypad). Try loading the program at low speed and then switching to high speed, if possible. Ll When running a software package that uses a key disk as its copy-protection method, try loading it at high speed. If this does not work, load it at low speed. Installing Option Cards If you are installing a video adapter card, make sure you disable the built-in VGA controller by setting jumper VJP1 to 1-2. Upgrading the Processor When you replace the processor, you need to check the settings of several jumpers, as listed on page 4. Booting Sequence If you cannot boot the computer from the hard disk, make sure the booting sequence in SETUP is set to A: , C : . Then boot the computer from a system diskette in drive A.
