The CMOS backup battery may have been low. If so, replace it with a new one.
CMOS data may have been corrupted by incorrectly turning off the power supply or
inappropriately handling the CPU Card alone. Invoke the Setup Utility to make BIOS settings
again. Although you can still start the system by pressing the <F1> key, the system may run so
slowly as it is started with the most conservative settings. If this error occurs after invalid
shutdown during installation of an OS, you should press the <DEL> key to invoke the Setup
Utility and check the settings.
