This manual explains how to set up your Epson

Progression™

computer. Chapter 1 provides simple step-by-step instructions

for setting up your system and connecting peripheral devices

such as the monitor, mouse, and printer.

Chapter 2 describes how to run the SETUP program to define

your computer’s configuration. Do this before you use your

computer. If you change the configuration later, you will need

to run it again.

After you set up your system and run SETUP, you can install

your operating system and software. (For general installation

guidelines, see the Read This First card that came with your

system.)

Note

If your computer has already been configured, you don’t

need to run SETUP or install any software. Just set it up as

described in Chapter 1 and turn it on. (Ask your dealer if

you are not sure if your computer was preconfigured.)

For information on using system memory, see Appendix A.

The instructions in this manual are designed to get your system

up and running; for complete information about using your

computer, see the User’s Guide.

If you need help while you are setting up your computer in the

United States, you can contact your dealer or call the Epson

Customer Support Center at (800) 922-8911. If you purchased

your computer outside the United States, contact your nearest

Epson dealer. International Marketing locations are listed

inside the back cover of your User’s Guide.
