If the previous failure was caused by incorrect values and they are not corrected, the next boot will likely fail also. If using the default settings does not allow you to complete a successful boot sequence, you should turn off the power and contact your support representative.
*Real time clock error
*Shadow RAM Failed at offset: nnnn
Shadow RAM failed at offset nnnn of the 64k block at which the error was detected. You are risking data corruption if you continue. Contact your support repre- sentative.
nnnn Shadow RAM Passed
Where nnnn is the amount of shadow RAM in kilobytes successfully tested.
*System battery is dead – Replace and run SETUP
The BIOS CMOS RAM memory hold up battery is dead. This is part of your BIOS and is a board mounted battery which requires a support representative to change. You can continue operating but you will have to use setup utility default values or reconfigure your setup utility every time you turn off your notebook. This battery has an expected life of 2 to 3 years.
System BIOS shadowed
System BIOS copied to shadow RAM.
*System CMOS checksum bad – run SETUP
BIOS CMOS RAM has been corrupted or modified incorrectly, perhaps by an application program that
changes data stored in BIOS memory. Run Setup and reconfigure the system.
*System RAM Failed at offset: nnnn
System memory failed at offset nnnn of in the 64k block at which the error was detected. This means that there is a fault in your
nnnn System RAM Passed
Where nnnn is the amount of system memory in kilobytes successfully tested.
*System timer error
The timer test failed. The main clock that operates the computer is faulty. Requires repair of system board. Contact your support representative for repairs.
UMB upper limit segment address: nnnn
Displays the address of the upper limit of Upper Memory Blocks, indicating released segments of the BIOS memory which may be reclaimed by a virtual memory manager.
Video BIOS shadowed

MODEM RESULT CODES
The operating system and application software that is factory installed detects the modem characteristics and provides the necessary command strings to operate the modem. The internal modem operation is controlled by generic AT commands from the operating system and application software. The standard long form result codes may, in some cases, be displayed on your screen to keep you informed of the actions of your modem. The operating system and application software may suppress display of the result codes.
Examples of result codes are:
■OK
■NO CARRIER
■NO DIALTONE
■CONNECT 53000 (Connection complete at 53,000 bps.)
■ERROR
■FAX
■RING (This means an incoming call.)
■BUSY
■NO ANSWER
When using the internal modem with applications that are not factory installed refer to the application documentation.
