Error Messages
One or more of the following messages may be displayed if the BIOS detects an error during the POST.
CMOS checksum error
CMOS memory recording BIOS Setup information contains an invalid checksum.
This indicates that invalid data has been written to CMOS memory. The error occurs,
for example, when the BIOS is upgraded or when the power is turned off while BIOS
Setup is saving data.
You can recover from the error by writing valid Setup data unless the error is caused by
a fault in CMOS memory.
DISK BOOT failure
[INSERT SYSTEM DISK AND PRESS ENTER]
No boot device was found.
This message appears, for example, when the BIOS cannot find any drive from which
to boot the system. Check whether a bootable device has been connected and whether
the connectors and cables have been plugged correctly.
