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, minimal-performance system

 

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.

 

 

Primary master hard disk fail

POST detects an error in the primary master IDE

 

hard drive.

 

 

Primary slave hard disk fail

POST detects an error in the secondary master

 

IDE hard drive.

 

 

Secondary master hard disk fail

POST detects an error in the primary slave IDE

 

hard drive.

 

 

Secondary slave hard disk fail

POST detects an error in the secondary slave IDE

 

hard drive.
