If you have not resolved the problem after looking at and listening to the computer,
continue with the instructions in the next section, "The System Setup Program."
You can easily correct certain system problems by verifying the correct settings in the
System Setup program. When you boot the system, the system checks the system
configuration information and compares it with the current hardware configuration. If
the system hardware configuration does not match the information recorded by the
System Setup program, an error message may appear on the screen.
This problem can happen if you changed the system's hardware configuration and for-
got to run the System Setup program. To correct this problem, enter the System
Setup program, correct the corresponding System Setup setting, and reboot the sys-
tem. See Chapter 4, "Using the System Setup Program," in the system User's Guide
for detailed instructions on using the System Setup program.
If you are experiencing problems with the system, you may have a conflict between
the information stored by the System Setup program and the Resource Configuration
Utility (RCU). Although the RCU can read changes from the System Setup program,
changes are not recorded into configuration memory until you run the RCU and save
the new information. See Chapter 5, "Using the Resource Configuration Utility," in
the system User's Guide for detailed instructions on using the RCU and saving new
information.
If after using the RCU you have not resolved the problem, see Chapter 5, "Running
the Dell Diagnostics."

When you turn on the system, you should
hear the hard-disk drives spin up, and the
system trying to access the boot files from
the hard-disk drive, the diskette drive, or the
CD-ROM drive. See Chapter 5, "Running the
Dell Diagnostics." If the system does not
boot, see Chapter 12, "Getting Help."
