Failing the POST

Errors can be detected during the POST. There are two categories, "fatal" and "non-
fatal".

Fatal Errors

These stop the boot process and usually indicate there is something seriously wrong
with your system. Take the computer to your service representative or authorized
5
service center as soon as possible.

Non-Fatal Errors

This kind of error still allows you to boot. You will get a message identifying the
problem (make a note of this message!) and you can then press F7 for boot options.
Press F2 (and give the system a few seconds to enter Setup) to run the Setup pro-
gram and try to correct the problem. If you still get an error message after you change
the setting, or if the "cure" seems even worse, call for help.
