F.2 POST Messages

“PRESS F1 TO CONTINUE, DEL TO ENTER SETUP”.
F.3 Error Messages
One or more of the following messages may be displayed if the BIOS detects an error during POST.
CMOS BATTERY HAS FAILED
1. If it is the first boot, check for the battery protection tape. The board is shipped with a tape on
the battery to set to OFF (onboard battery disconnected). Remove the tape before the first use for
proper battery operation.
2. CMOS battery is no longer functional. Replace it.
CMOS CHECKSUM ERROR
Checksum of CMOS is incorrect. This indicates that CMOS has become corrupt. A weak battery may
cause this error. Check the battery and replace if necessary.
OPERATING SYSTEM NOT FOUND
No boot device was found. This could mean either a boot drive was not detected or the drive does
not contain proper system boot files. Insert a system disk into Floppy 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, make sure that the disk is formatted as a boot device.
Then reboot the system.
EXPANSION ROM NOT INITIALIZED
Cannot initialize the PCI expansion ROM. There is not enough free conventional memory for
expansion ROM (C0000h to DFFFFh). Expansion ROM not required to boot should be disabled.
