3 Troubleshooting Your PC Workstation
If Your PC Workstation Does Not Start Properly
If a POST Error Message is Displayed
The Power-On-System-Test (POST) can detect both an error and a
change to the configuration. In either case, an error code and short
description is displayed. Depending on the kind of error, you will have
one or more of these choices available on screen:
•
Press
to ignore the message and continue.
•
Press
to
run
Setup
and correct a system configuration
error
. HP
recommends that you correct the error before proceeding, even if
the PC Workstation appears to start successfully.
•
Press
to accept (validate) the change and update
Setup’s
configuration information.
•
Press
to see more details about the message. After viewing
these details, you will be returned to the original POST display
screen. If the message is actually a change to the configuration you
have made (for example, you have just removed some memory), you
can then press
to accept the change and update
Setup’s
configuration information. Otherwise, press
to ignore the
message and continue, or press
to run
Setup
and correct a
system configuration error. (The number of choices you will have
available are dependent on the kind of error.)
Clearing the
PC Workstation’s
Configuration Memory
If the PC Workstation then starts, but POST still persists in reporting an
error, clear the current configuration memory values and reinstall the
built-in default values:
1
Turn off the PC Workstation, disconnect the power and cables, and
remove the cover. Disconnect the PC Workstation from any
telecommunications network.
a
Set the system board switch 6 (CONFG) DOWN to clear the
configuration.
b
Replace the cover, and reconnect only the power cable.
c
Turn on the PC Workstation. This will erase the CMOS memory.
d
Wait until the PC Workstation has started. A message will be
displayed similar to this:
“Configuration has been cleared, set switch Clear
CMOS to the open position before rebooting.”
