4.13 POST Messages
During the Power-on Self Test (POST), the BIOS displays a message whenever it
detects a correctable error. Any error message is followed by this prompt:
Press “F1” to continue, “Ctrl-Alt-Esc” or “Del” to enter setup.
Following is a list of POST error 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
Checksum of CMOS is incorrect. This can indicate that the CMOS has become
corrupted. This error may have been caused by a weak battery. Check the battery and
replace it, 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
that 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 floppy-disk 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 error
message indicates that the switch has a setting other than that 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 the last powering-down of 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 corrupted or the
slot has been configured incorrectly. Ensure also that the card is installed firmly in the
slot.
