BIOS Power On Self Test (POST) diskette tests. Check to see that the drive is defined with the proper diskette type in the Utility Setup, (see page 59,) and that the diskette drive is installed cor- rectly, (see pages 121 and 122). If the disk drive is properly defined and installed avoid using it and contact your support representative.

*Extended RAM Failed at offset:nnnn – Extended memory not working or not config- ured properly. If you have an installed a memor y upgrade module verify that the module is proper- ly installed. If it is properly installed you may want to check your Windows Setup so it is not trying to use unavailable memory until you can contact your support representative.

*Failing Bits:nnnn – The hex number nnnn is a map of the bits at the memory address (in System, Extended, or Shadow memory) which failed the memory test. Each 1 (one) in

the map indicates a failed bit. This is a serious fault which might cause you to lose data if you continue. Contact your support representative.

*Fixed Disk x Failure or Fixed Disk Controller Failure (where x = 1-4) – Fixed disk is not working or not configured properly. This may mean that the hard drive type identified in your Setup Utility does not agree with the type detected by the Power On Self Test (POST). Run the Setup Utility to check for the hard disk type settings and correct them if necessary. If the settings are OK and the message appears when you restart the system there may be a serious fault which might cause you to lose data if you continue. Contact your support representative.
