7-4 Solving System Problems
Start-Up Problems
The system displays an invalid configuration error message at power on
when there are the following conditions:
!
the current configuration information doesn't match configuration
information stored in Auto Setup, such as when an internal option is
added.
!
the system loses configuration information.
If either condition is true, the system displays an “invalid configuration
information” message.
To continue start-up procedures, press
F2
(or
F1
when prompted) and run
the Setup utility to set current system parameters.
If an error message appears before the operating system starts, look up
the error message in the following table. Follow the instructions. If you
see other error messages, the hardware might need repair.
Note:
When the NEC Versa detects an error
related to display devices, it cannot display on either
the LCD or a CRT. The system warns you by
beeping.
Post Error Messages
The NEC Versa LX computer has a built-in checking program that
automatically tests its components when you turn the system power on.
This diagnostic test is called the Power-On Self-Test (POST). If the
system finds a problem during the POST, the system displays an error
message or emits a series of beep signals. If this happens, follow the
instructions in the POST Error Messages table or the Beep Code table, as
appropriate.
