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 displays, 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 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 system configuration in the
RTC memory configuration is set to the default setting. If error message (b)
appears often when power is turned on, replace the RTC battery. If any other
error message displays, perform Check 2.
