System Board 1-291.12.3 Correcting Error ConditionsAs a general rule, if an error message says "Press F1 to continue," itis caused by a configuration problem, which can be easily corrected.An equipment malfunction is more likely to cause a fatal error, i.e., anerror that causes complete system failure.Here are some corrective measures for error conditions:1. Run Setup. You must know the correct configuration values foryour system before you enter Setup, which is why you shouldwrite them down when the system is correctly configured. Anincorrect configuration is a major cause of power-on errormessages, especially for a new system.2. Remove the system unit cover. Check that the jumpers on thesystem board and any expansion boards are set correctly.3. If you cannot access a new disk, it may be because your disk isnot properly formatted. Format the disk first using the FDISKand FORMAT commands.4. Check that all connectors and boards are securely plugged in.If you go through the corrective steps above and still receive an errormessage, the cause may be an equipment malfunction.If you are sure that your configuration values are correct and yourbattery is in good condition, the problem may lie in a damaged ordefective chip.In either case, contact an authorized service center for assistance.
