2.4 System Board Troubleshooting

Procedure 1

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 TOSHIBA MS-DOS or TOSHIBA Windows XP is properly loaded, go to Procedure 3.
Check 1 If one of the following error messages displays on the screen, press the F1 key as the
message instructs. These errors occur when the system configuration preserved in the
RTC memory (CMOS type memory) is not the same as the actual configuration or
when the data is lost.
If you press the F1 key as the message instructs, the TSETUP screen appears to set
the system configuration. If error message (b) appears often when the power is turned
on, replace the RTC battery. If any other error message displays, perform Check 2.
