Power and Power-Up Modes
Real Time Clock (RTC) battery
The Real Time Clock (RTC) battery provides power for the internal real
time clock and calendar function and also maintains the system
configuration while the computer is turned off. If the RTC battery becomes
completely discharged, the system will lose this information and the real
time clock and calendar will stop working - in this instance the following
message will be displayed when you turn on the power:
S The firmware has detected that a CMOS
battery fail occurred. <F1> continue
The firmware has detected that a CMOS
battery fail occurred. <F1> continue,
<F2> to setup
You can change the Real Time Clock settings by turning the computer on
while pressing the F2 key and then release the F2 key when the TOSHIBA
Leading Innovation >>> screen appears. Please refer to Chapter 8
Troubleshooting for further information.
