Checking the DIP Switches

Inside the Equity III main unit, there are ten DIP (dual-line pack-

age) switches which give your computer information about memory

size, monitor type, floppy disk drive interface, and which built-in inter-

faces are in use. Each switch has two positions: on and off. You may need

to change these settings if you add options (such as extra memory or disk

drives) to your system.

Although your dealer probably set your DIP switches for you, you

may want to look at the DIP switch settings in your main unit to be sure

they match your system configuration. If your system does not work

properly, check the DIP switches to see if they are set correctly.

To access the DIP switches, you need to remove the cover from the

Equity III main unit. If you want to check them now, follow the instruc-

tions in Chapter 4 under “Removing the Cover” and then “Setting the

DIP Switches.”
