AwardBIOS POST Messages
During the Power-On Self-Test (POST), the BIOS will check for errors. If an error is found
and a correction is needed, the BIOS will activate an alarm or display a message.
If a message is displayed, it will be accompanied by the following:
PRESS F1 TO CONTINUE, CTRL-ALT-ESC OR DEL TO ENTER SETUP
POST Beep Codes
Currently, there are two kinds of beep codes used in AwardBIOS. One code indicates
that a video error has occurred and that the BIOS cannot initialize the video screen to
display any additional information. This beep code consists of a single long beep followed
by two short beeps. The other code indicates that a Rambus error has occurred. This
beep code consists of a single long beep that sounds 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
The CMOS battery is no longer functional. It should be replaced.
CMOS CHECKSUM ERROR
The CMOS hecksum is incorrect. This can indicate that CMOS has been corrupted. 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 the 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 make
sure the disk has been formatted as a boot device. Then reboot the system.
