removed and should be installed.
CMOS CHECKSUM ERROR

necessary. It can also happen if the battery jumper is removed: in such a case, it
should be installed.

press Enter. If you assumed the system would boot from the hard drive, make sure the
controller is inserted correctly and all cables are properly attached. Also be sure the
disk is formatted as a boot device. Then reboot the system.
