Correcting Error Conditions

As a general rule, the "Press F1 to continue" error message is caused by a configuration problem
which can be easily corrected. An equipment malfunction is more likely to cause a fatal error, i.e.,
an error that causes complete system failure.
Here are some corrective measures for error conditions:
²
Run Setup. You must know the correct configuration values for your system before you enter
Setup, which is why you should write these values down when the system is correctly
configured. An incorrect Setup configuration is a major cause of power-on error messages,
especially for a new system.
²
Remove the system cover according to the directions in the system housing installation guide.
Check that the system board and any expansion boards are set correctly.
²
Check that all connectors and boards are secure. Consult the system housing installation
guide for assistance.
If you have purchased a new hard disk drive and cannot access it, it may be because your
i
disk is not physically formatted. Physically format the disk using the FDISK and FORMAT
commands.
If you follow the corrective steps above and still receive an error message, the cause may be an
equipment malfunction.
If you are sure that your configuration values are correct and your battery is in good condition, the
problem may lie in a damaged or defective chip. Contact an authorized service center for
assistance.
