The next step of installation is connecting peripherals, typically a video display and
keyboard, but also perhaps a mouse, modem, printer, etc. Pin-outs for the EPC-8
front-panel connectors are specified in Appendix C, Connectors.
Remaining Steps
The remaining configuration steps may include BIOS configuration, driver software
installation and application software installation. Your system may be preconfigured
by your supplier or you may be required to perform these tasks yourself.
Chapter 3 of this manual describes the BIOS set up program. Many of the hardware
setups are accomplished using the BIOS.
Other features of the EPC-8, such as the Ethernet port, graphics controller, and
optional Flash memory require drivers and are configured using DOS programs or
specific operating system functions and utilities. Installation of other software drivers
that are optionally available with the EPC-8 is described in the appropriate sections of
this manual. These include the following:
• a resident Flash memory utility (Appendix G - XFORMAT)
• an Ethernet configuration utility (Appendix H - AUTOSET)
• SVGA display drivers (Appendix I - SVGA).
• Ethernet drivers (Appendix K - Configuring the Ethernet Drivers)
