Appendix B. POST Messages
POST Messages
During the Power On Self Test (POST), if the BIOS detects an error requiring
you to do something to fix, it will either sound a beep code or display a message.
If a message is displayed, it will be accompanied by:
PRESS F1 TO CONTINUE, CTRL-ALT-ESC OR DEL TO ENTER SETUP
POST Beep
Currently there are two kinds of beep codes in BIOS. This code indicates that a
video error has occurred and the BIOS cannot initialize the video screen to
display any additional information. This beep code consists of a single long
beep followed by three short beeps. The other code indicates that your DRAM
error has occurred. This beep code consists of a single long beep repeatedly.
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.
