The remainder of this chapter describes the tests you can run on the

puter. The program displays the title of each check on the screen.
For a complete list of the error codes and messages that are displayed by
these tests, refer to Appendix A.
System Board Check
Use this option to check the operation of each major component on the
system board, including:
l
The 8088 CPU chip
l The system ROM
l
The real-time clock, CMOS RAM, and battery
l
The main integrated circuits.
The checks made on the 8088 CPU chip are extremely comprehensive.
They ensure that the CPU instruction set is functioning correctly.
If an error is reported, write down the error code and message, or print
them out, and contact your Epson dealer. Attempting to correct
system board errors yourself may violate your warranty agreement.

settings are incorrect, check the DIP switches to make sure they match the
installed memory.
Note: This option does not check expanded memory above the 640KB
memory limit imposed by MS-DOS.
