3-2 User’s Guide
If you wait too long and your operating system begins to load into memory, let
the system complete the load operation, and then shut down the system and try
again.
NOTE: To ensure an orderly system shutdown, consult the documentation that
accompanied your operating system.
You can also enter the System Setup program by responding to certain error mes-
sages. See “Responding to Error Messages” in the following section.
Responding to Error Messages
If an error message appears on your monitor screen while the system is booting,
make a note of the message. Then, before entering the System Setup program, see
“POST Beep Codes” and “System Messages” in your
Installation and
Troubleshooting Guide for an explanation of the message and suggestions for correct-
ing any errors. (An exception to this routine: It is normal to receive an error message
the first time you boot your system after installing a memory upgrade. In that situa-
tion, do not refer to “POST Beep Codes” and “System Messages.” Instead, follow
the instructions for performing a memory upgrade in “Memory Modules” in your
Installation and Troubleshooting Guide .)
If you are given an option of pressing either <F1> to continue or <F2> to run the Sys-
tem Setup program, press <F2>.
