System test and initialization
These routines test and initialize board hardware. If the routines encounter an error during the tests, you will either hear a few short beeps or see an error message on the screen. There are two kinds of errors: fatal and
press <F1> to RESUME
Write down the message and press the F1 key to continue the bootup sequence.
System configuration verification
These routines check the current system configuration against the values stored in the board’s CMOS memory. If they don’t match, the program outputs an error message. You will then need to run the BIOS setup program to set the configuration information in memory.
There are three situations in which you will need to change the CMOS settings:
1.You are starting your system for the first time
2.You have changed the hardware attached to your system
3.The CMOS memory has lost power and the configuration information has been erased.
