Troubleshooting Your Personal Workstation
If Your Personal Workstation Does Not Start Properly
If a POST Error Message is Displayed
The Power-On-System-Test (POST) can detect both an error and a
change to the configuration. In either case, an error code and short
description is displayed. Depending on the kind of error, you will have
one or more of these choices available on screen:
• Press
to ignore the message and continue.

• Press

recommends that you correct the error before proceeding, even if the
Personal Workstation appears to start successfully.
• Press

these details, you will be returned to the original POST display
screen. If the message is actually a change to the configuration you
have made (for example, you have just removed some memory), you
can then press
configuration information. Otherwise, press
and continue, or press
configuration error. (The number of choices you will have available
are dependent on the kind of error.)
If the Personal Workstation then starts, but POST still persists in
reporting an error, clear the current configuration memory values and
reinstall the built-in default values as follows:
1. Turn off the Personal Workstation, disconnect the power and cables,
and remove the cover. Disconnect the Personal Workstation from any
telecommunications network.
a. Set the system board switch 6 (CLEAR CMOS) DOWN to clear the
configuration.
b. Replace the cover, and reconnect only the power cable.
