Abstract
In a computer unit capable of connecting an expansion unit and having a resume function, when a system power source is turned on, it is determined whether or not the resume function is set. If the resume function is set, it is determined whether or not an expansion unit is connected to the computer unit. If no expansion unit is connected to the computer unit, the resume process is executed. When an expansion unit is connected to the computer unit, a warning message is output. A sound signal corresponding to the warning message is generated by a sound generator, and a light signal corresponding to the warning message is generated by an LED (light emitting diode).
