Clearing the Personal Workstation's Configuration Memory 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 F1 to ignore the message and continue. • Press F2 to run Setup and correct a system configuration error. HP recommends that you correct the error before proceeding, even if the Personal Workstation appears to start successfully. • Press Enter to see more details about the message. After viewing 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 F4 to accept the change and update Setup's configuration information. Otherwise, press F1 to ignore the message and continue, or press F2 to run Setup and correct a system 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. 140 Chapter 3
