Award BIOS Error CodesAward BIOS Text Error Messages and Beep CodesDuring the power on self test (POST), if the BIOS detects an error requiring you to do something,it will either sound a beep code or display a message. If a message is displayed, it will be accom-panied by the following:PRESS F1 TO CONTINUE, CTRL-ALT-ESC OR DEL TO ENTER SETUP

Currently there is only one beep code in the Award BIOS. A single long beep followed by twoshort beeps indicates that a video error has occurred and the BIOS cannot initialize the videoscreen to display any additional or more of the following messages may be displayed if the BIOS detects an error during thePOST. Table 8 includes Award BIOS messages for both the ISA and the EISA BIOS.

Table 8Award BIOS Error Messages (ISA and EISA BIOS)

DescriptionThe checksum of the BIOS code in the BIOS chip is incorrect, indicating

the BIOS code may have become corrupt. Replace the battery is no longer functional. Replace battery.

Checksum of CMOS is incorrect, so the system loads the default

equipment configuration. A checksum error may indicate that CMOS hasbecome corrupt. This error might have been caused by a weak the battery and replace if necessary.

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 ys the running speed of the CPU.

Type of diskette drive installed in the system is different from the CMOS

definition. Run Setup to reconfigure the drive type display switch on the motherboard can be set to either monochromeor color. This message indicates the switch is set to a different setting thanindicated in Setup. Determine which setting is correct, and then either turnoff the system and change the jumper; or, enter Setup and change theVIDEO last powering off the system, the display adapter has beenchanged. You must configure the system for the new display EISA nonvolatile RAM checksum is incorrect or cannot correctlyread the EISA slot. This can indicate either the EISA nonvolatile memoryhas become corrupt or the slot has been configured incorrectly. Also besure the card is installed firmly in the slot configuration information stored in the EISA nonvolatilememory is drive cannot be initialized. Be sure the adapter is installed correctly

and all cables are correctly and firmly attached. Also be sure the correcthard drive type is selected in initialize controller. Make sure the cord is correctly and firmly

If there are no floppy drivesinstalled, be sure the Diskette Drive selection in Setup is set to find or initialize the floppy drive controller or the drive. Make surethe controller is installed correctly. If no floppy drives are installed, be surethe Diskette Drive selection in Setup is set to NONE or AUTO.

Please wait a moment… Some hard drives require extra time to initialize.

Cannot find or initialize the hard drive controller or the drive. Make surethe controller is installed correctly. If no hard drives are installed, be surethe Hard Drive selection in Setup is set to NONE.

The system may run specific disk diagnostic routines. This messageappears if one or more hard disks return an error when the diagnosticsrun.

The nonvolatile memory containing EISA configuration information wasprogrammed incorrectly or has become corrupt. Rerun EISA configurationutility to correctly program the initialize the keyboard. Make sure the keyboard is attachedcorrectly and no keys are being pressed during the boot. If you are pur-posely configuring the system without a keyboard, set the error halt condi-tion in Setup to HALT ON ALL, BUT KEYBOARD. This will cause the BIOSto ignore the missing keyboard and continue the message usually indicates that one or more keys have been pressedduring the keyboard tests. Be sure no objects are resting on the

keyboard.

Indicates a memory address error at a specific location. You can use thislocation along with the memory map for your system to find and replacethe bad memory chips.

Indicates a memory parity error at a specific location. You can use thislocation along with the memory map for your system to find and replacethe bad memory chips.

Memory has been added or removed since the last boot. In EISA mode,use configuration utility to reconfigure the memory configuration. In ISAmode, enter Setup and enter the new memory size in the memory fields.

This message displays during a full memory test, counting down the mem-ory areas being tested.

If POST detects an error during memory testing, additional informationappears giving specifics about the type and location of the memory error.

Indicates an error verifying a value already written to memory. Use thelocation along with your system’s memory map to locate the bad chip.

This could mean that either a boot drive was not detected or the drivedoes not contain proper system boot files. Insert a system disk into driveA: and press Enter. If you assumed the system would boot from the harddrive, make sure the controller is inserted correctly and all cables areproperly attached. Also be sure the disk is formatted as a boot reboot the system.

This message is used in conjunction with the I/O CHANNEL CHECK

and RAM PARITY ERROR messages when the segment that has caused theproblem cannot be isolated.
