Correcting Error Conditions
As a general rule, if an error message says “Press F1 to
continue,” it is caused by a configuration problem,
which can be easily corrected. An equipment
malfunction is more likely to cause a fatal error, that is,
an error that causes complete system failure.
Here are some corrective measures for error conditions:
1.
Run Setup. You must know the correct configuration
values for your system before you enter Setup.
Always write them down when the system is
correctly configured.
An incorrect configuration is a major cause
of power-on error messages, especially for a new
system.
2. Remove the system cover. Check that the jumpers
on the system board and any expansion boards are
set correctly.
3. If you cannot access a new disk, it may be because
your disk is not properly formatted. Format the disk
first using the FDISK and 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 error message, the cause may be an
equipment malfunction.
