PC Workstation. If the PC Workstation now works, add the boards and

accessories one at a time to determine which one is causing the

problem.

configuration information. Otherwise, press to ignore the

message and continue, or press to run Setup and correct a

system configuration error. (The number of choices you will have

available are dependent on the kind of error.)
