Messages Vary Slightly

These messages may vary slightly depending on the motherboard version.

If you see the word "ERROR" in the last few lines, or the oscilloscope does not appear to be functioning, check the motherboard jumper settings and the ribbon cable connectors. Proceed to the Primary Trouble Isolation flowchart. Otherwise, continue with the next step.

5Press F1 to run the WINBIOS setup.

During the setup program, you can control the cursor with the mouse. If the mouse does not appear to work, press the Esc key on the external keyboard to exit the setup program. Turn off the oscilloscope, and ensure that the mouse is properly connected to the rear panel connector. You may also need to remove the cover and ensure that the mouse connector is correctly connected to the motherboard by the PS/2 Mouse Cable W22.
