ABSTRACT:
A computer system is provided has a computer main body and an expansion unit to be attached to and detached from the computer main body. Power is input to the computer system in accordance with a plurality of factors. A power supply controller determines which factor has caused power-ON for the computer system, and writes the result of this determination into a power-ON factor register. BIOS reads the content stored in the power-ON factor register and executes processing in accordance with power-ON factors. Before the computer system is switched on, the power supply controller determines the connection, type and state of the expansion unit and writes the result of this into the state register. BIOS executes error processing, etc., in accordance with the content of the state register.
