3 Troubleshooting Your PC
If Your PC Does Not Start Properly
Clearing the PC's Configuration Memory
If the PC starts and the POST still displays an error, clear the current
configuration memory values and restore the default values:
1 Turn off the PC, disconnect the power cables, and remove the cover.
Disconnect the PC from any telecommunications network.
a Set the system board switch 8 (Clear Config) to CLOSED to clear
the configuration.
b Replace the cover, and reconnect the power cable only.
c Turn on the PC. This will erase the CMOS memory.
d Wait until the PC has started. A message will be displayed similar
to this:
"Configuration has been cleared, set switch 8 to the OPEN
position before rebooting."
Turn off the PC, disconnect the power cable, and remove the
cover.
e Set the system board switch 8 (Clear Config) on the switch block
to OPEN to re-enable the configuration.
2 Replace the cover, and reconnect the power and cables.
3 Switch on the PC. The PC will restart, load default values in CMOS,
then restart the operating system with these default values.
