ensure that the disk is in fact bootable, and change it to another if not.
If the computer cannot be booted from the hard disk, confirm whether the hard disk is
properly recognized in [Information] menu of the Setup Utility.
If the hard disk is recognized, perform the reinstallation procedure.
If not, contact your technical support office.

and set [Legacy USB Support] in [Advanced] menu to [Disable].
If the RAM module has not been inserted properly, or if a RAM module other than one
matching the specifications has been inserted, a beep will sound and the message “Ex-
