Message Check
When the power is turned on, the system performs the Initial Reliability Test (IRT) installed in
the BIOS ROM. The IRT tests each IC on the system board and initializes it.
❑
If an error message is shown on the display, perform Check 1.

If there is no error message, go to Procedure 2.

If the Toshiba MS-DOS is properly loaded, go to Procedure 3.
Check 1

RTC memory configuration is set to the default setting. If error message (b)
appears often when the power is turned on, replace the RTC battery. If any other
