    NOTE: : When the IO board cable is disconnected from the system board, an RTC error occurs. This error occurs whenever the RTC/coin-cell battery, IO board, or system board are removed.

    In such instances, after the system is reassembled, it will undergo and RTC reset cycle and the computer turns on and turn off several times.

    An "Invalid Configuration" error message is displayed prompting you to enter the BIOS and configure the date and time. The computer starts functioning normally after setting the date and time.
