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.
CMOS CHECKSUM ERROR
Checksum of CMOS is incorrect. This can indicate that CMOS has become corrupt. This error may have
been caused by a weak battery. Check the battery and replace if necessary.
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.
DISKETTE DRIVES OR TYPES MISMATCH ERROR - RUN SETUP
Type of diskette drive installed in the system is different from the CMOS definition. Run Setup to reconfigure
the drive type correctly.
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 installed firmly in the slot.
EISA Configuration Is Not Complete
PLEASE RUN EISA CONFIGURATION UTILITY
The slot configuration information stored in the EISA non-volatile memory is incomplete.
Note: When either of these errors appear, the system will boot in ISA mode, which allows you to run the EISA
Configuration Utility.
