If an error message appears on your monitor screen while the system is starting up, make a note of the message. Before

entering the System Setup program, see "System Beep Codes" and "System Messages" in your Installation and

Troubleshooting Guide for an explanation of the message and suggestions for correcting any errors.

NOTE:

To use the System Setup program and to see and respond to error messages, connect a keyboard, monitor,

and mouse to the system or use the console redirection function on the serial port 1 (COM1) connector. See Figure 3-3

for the serial port location. See "

Using Console Redirection

" for more information on console redirection.

NOTE:

After installing a memory upgrade, it is normal for your system to send a message the first time you start your

system. In that situation, do not refer to "System Beep Codes" and "System Messages." Instead, see "Adding Memory"

in your Installation and Troubleshooting Guide for instructions.

If you are given an option of pressing either <F1> to continue or <F2> to run the System Setup program, press <F2>.
