Specifications
Installation
EPC-100 Hardware Reference 2-3
The next step of installation is connecting peripherals, typically a video display and
keyboard, and perhaps a mouse, modem, printer, etc. Pin-outs for the EPC-100
front-panel connectors are specified in Appendix C - Connector and Jumpers.
SCSI Termination
When you configure SCSI peripherals to work with the EPC-100, you need to
consider the placement of the EPC-100 in the SCSI chain. If the EPC-100 is to be the
last device in the SCSI chain, it must be terminated. The SCSI termination jumper
placement is described in Appendix C - Connectors and Jumpers.
System Software Installation
Operating System Software
The EPC-100 is shipped without operating system software installed on its optional
hard disk. To load the operating system software of your choice, use the floppy drive
connector located at the rear of the main circuit board to connect a temporary floppy
disk drive, then boot from a bootable floppy disk.

You can then use the SCSI-2 connector on the front panel to connect an external
SCSI CDROM drive and load the operating system software from it.
