BIOS Messages | Action/FRU |
|
|
Hard disk(s) diagnosis fail | The system may run specific disk diagnostic |
| routines. This message appears if one or more |
| hard disks return an error when the diagnostics |
| run. |
|
|
Keyboard Error Or No Keyboard Present | Cannot initialize the keyboard. Make sure the |
| keyboard is attached correctly and no keys are |
| pressed during POST. To purposely configure the |
| system without a keyboard, set the error halt |
| condition in Setup to HALT ON ALL, BUT |
| KEYBOARD. The BIOS then ignores the missing |
| keyboard during POST. |
|
|
Keyboard is locked out - Unlock the key | This message usually indicates that one or more |
| keys have been pressed during the keyboard |
| tests. Be sure no objects are resting on the |
| keyboard. |
|
|
Memory Test: | This message displays during a full memory test, |
| counting down the memory areas being tested. |
|
|
Memory test fail | If POST detects an error during memory testing, |
| additional information appears giving specifics |
| about the type and location of the memory error. |
|
|
Override enabled - Defaults loaded | If the system cannot boot using the current CMOS |
| configuration, the BIOS can override the current |
| configuration with a set of BIOS defaults designed |
| for the most stable, |
| operations. |
|
|
Press TAB to show POST screen | System OEMs may replace the Phoenix |
| Technologies Award BIOS POST display with their |
| own proprietary display. Including this message in |
| the OEM display permits the operator to switch |
| between the OEM display and the default POST |
| display. |

| hard drive. |
