If a Power-On System Hardware Test Error Message Appears

If an error occurs during the power-on system hardware test (when the NetServer
starts) details of the error are displayed. Follow the instructions on the screen.

It is recommended that you correct the error before proceeding, even if the
NetServer appears to start successfully.

If the NetServer starts, but the power-on system hardware test still reports an
error message, clear the CMOS configuration, as described below.

Clearing the CMOS Configuration

You may need to clear the CMOS configuration if the configuration has been
corrupted by a program, or if incorrect settings made in the Setup program have
made the display unreadable.

To clear the configuration:

1. Turn off power to the NetServer and remove the cover and the cooling

duct/cover.

2. Move switch 6 on the system board (labeled "Clear CMOS") to the closed

position.

3. Turn on power to the NetServer. A message displays indicating that the

configuration has been cleared.

4. Turn off power to the NetServer.

5. Return switch 6 on the system board to the open position.

6. Replace the cooling duct/cover and the cover.

7. Turn on power to the NetServer. The message

Incorrect PC Configuration
Option ROM error

is displayed.

8. Press [F2] to run the Setup program when

<F2=Setup>

appears.

9. Make any configuration changes that are required.

10. Choose the Exit option and save the changes to save the configuration and

exit the Setup program.
