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 is shown on the display, perform Check 1.

 If there is no error message, go to Procedure 2.

 If TOSHIBA MS-DOS or TOSHIBA Windows XP 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 TSETUP screen appears to set

the system configuration. If error message (b) appears often when the power is turned

on, replace the RTC battery. If any other error message displays, perform Check 2.
