The remainder of this appendix describes the tests you can run

on the system’s internal devices and on the optional devices

installed on your computer. The program displays the title of

each check on the screen.

For a complete list of the error codes and messages these tests
may display, see the table at the end of this appendix.

System Board Check

Use this option to check the operation of each major

component on the system board, including:

The 80386SX CPU chip

The system ROM

The real-time clock, CMOS RAM, and battery

The main integrated circuits.

The checks made on the 80386SX CPU chip are extremely
comprehensive and ensure that the CPU instruction set,

including protected-mode operation, is functioning correctly.

If an error occurs, make a copy or a printout of the error code
and message, and contact your Epson dealer or service center for
assistance. Attempting to correct system board errors yourself
may violate your warranty agreement.
