Responding to Error MessagesIf an error message appears on your monitor screen while the system is booting, make note of the
message. Then, before entering the System Setup program, refer to your Diagnostics and
Troubleshooting Guide for an explanation of the message and suggestions for correcting any errors.
However, it is normal to receive an error message the first time you boot the system after a memory
upgrade. In that case, you do not need to refer to the Diagnostics and Troubleshooting Guide;
instead, refer to the instructions in " Adding Memory."
If you are given an option of pressing either <F1> to continue or <F2> to run the System Setup
program, press the <F2> key.
