In a multicomputer system (MRS) with a central computer (ZR), a number of peripheral computers (PR0, . . . , PR29) signal their availability to the central computer (ZR) when starting or restarting the system. It is possible that overload situations occur during this process. According to the invention, a computer-dependent signal delay (VPR) of the availability is provided for each peripheral computer (PR0, . . . , PR29) within a predetermined time interval (T). Each peripheral computer has a specific computer number (nPR). All peripheral computers (PR0, . . . , PR29) should have signaled their availability within the predetermined time interval (T). For this purpose, the maximum number (nmax) of peripheral computers (PR0, . . . , PR29) must be known and the central computer (ZR) must be able to process simultaneously an available quantity (A) of peripheral computers (PR0, . . . , PR29) that signal their availability. In this case, the computer-dependent signal delay (VPR)=computer number (nPR) MODULO time interval (T).
