Math Coprocessor Problems

If the math coprocessor in your system does not seem to be

operating properly, check the following:

1. If you have the 25 MHz model and replaced the 80486SX

microprocessor with an 80487SX chip, make sure you set

jumpers JP1 through JP3 to indicate that you installed a

math coprocessor. See Chapter 6 for instructions.

2. Run the Setup program to make sure the math coprocessor

is listed as installed on the Exit display. If it is listed as not

installed, your dealer may have installed the math

coprocessor incorrectly. See Chapters 2 and 6 for more

information.

Caution
Do not attempt to remove the microprocessor yourself.

Contact your dealer to remove it for you.

3. If your math coprocessor is listed as installed in the Setup

program but still does not seem to be working, test it

by running the System diagnostics program on your

Reference diskette. See Appendix C for instructions.
