your system before you enter Setup, which is why you should

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.
3. If you cannot access a new disk, it may be because your disk is
not physically formatted.

4. Check that all connectors and boards are secure. Consult the
system housing installation guide for assistance.
If you follow the corrective steps above and still receive an error
message, the cause may be an equipment malfunction.
