Error Messages
One or more of the following messages may be displayed if the BIOS detects an error during the POST.
This list includes messages for both the ISA and the EISA BIOS.
CMOS battery has failed
CMOS battery is no longer functional. It should be replaced.
DISK BOOT failure
[INSERT SYSTEM DISK AND PRESS ENTER]
No boot device was found. This could mean that either a boot drive was not detected or the drive does
not contain proper system boot files. Insert a system disk into Drive A: and press <Enter>. If you
assumed the system would boot from the hard drive, make sure the controller is inserted correctly and all
cables are properly attached. Also be sure the disk is formatted as a boot device. Then reboot the
system.
Display switch is set incorrectly
Display switch on the motherboard can be set to either monochrome or color. This indicates the switch
is set to a different setting than indicated in Setup. Determine which setting is correct, and then either
turn off the system and change the jumper, or enter Setup and change the VIDEO selection.
Display type has changed since last BOOT
Since last powering off the system, the display adapter has been changed. You must configure the
system for the new display type.
EISA configuration checksum error
[PLEASE RUN EISA CONFIGURATION UTILITY]
The EISA non-volatile RAM checksum is incorrect or cannot correctly read the EISA slot. This can
indicate either the EISA non-volatile memory has become corrupt or the slot has been configured
incorrectly. Also be sure the card is in-stalled firmly in the slot.
EISA configuration is incomplete
[PLEASE RUN EISA CONFIGURATION UTILITY]
The slot configuration information stored in the EISA non-volatile memory is incomplete.
CAUTION
When either of these errors appears, the system will boot in ISA mode, which allows you to run the
EISA Configuration Utility.
