10h-1Fh

First 64K RAM chip or data

The first 64K of RAM is tested with a

2-1-2

 

line failure on bit x

rolling ones test and a pattern test. If any

 

 

of the rolling ones tests fail, then the

2-1-3

 

 

 

 

BIOS reports the specific bit that failed.

2-1-4

 

 

To determine the bit number from the

2-2-1

 

 

diagnostic code, subtract 10h. For

 

 

example, if 12h is displayed at the

2-2-2

 

 

 

 

diagnostic port, bit 2 failed. Failure
