The keyboard failed to respond to the

 

RESET ID Command.

MACHINE IS LOCKED - TURN KEY

The system will not continue the boot

 

sequence until you insert the key into the

 

key lock and turn it.

NO BOOTABLE FLOPPY DRIVE 0 INSTALLED

No bootable floppy drive was detected.

 

Possible solutions: 1) Power down the

 

system and check all appropriate

 

connections, cables, etc. 2) In

 

configurations where no floppy drive is

 

installed, run System Configuration Utility

 

and make sure the diskette drive

 

configuration item is set to “None”. 3)

 

Replace the diskette drive if necessary.

NO INTERRUPTS FROM TIMER 0

The periodic timer interrupt is not

 

occurring.

RAM PARITY ERROR AT LOCATION xxxx

A RAM parity error occurred at the

 

specified (hexadecimal) location.

ROM AT xxxx (LENGTH YYYY) WITH NON-ZERO

An illegal adapter ROM was located at

CHECKSUM (zz)

the specified address. An external

 

adapter (such as a video card) may be

 

causing a conflict.

TIME/DATE CORRUPT - RUN SCU

The time and date stored in the real time

 

clock have been corrupted, possibly by a

 

power loss.

UNEXPECTED AMOUNT OF MEMORY - RUN SCU

The amount of memory detected by

 

POST does not match the amount

 

specified in CMOS RAM.

CMOS RAM TEST FAILED

A walking built test of CMOS RAM

 

locations 0E (Hex) - 3F (Hex) failed.

DMA CONTROLLER FAULTY

A sequential read/write of the transfer

 

count and transfer address registers

 

within the primary and secondary DMA

 

controllers failed.

FAULTY DMA PAGE REGISTERS

A walking bit read/write of the 16 DMA

 

controller page registers starting at

 

location 80 Hex failed.

FAULTY REFRESH CIRCUIT

A continuous read/write test of port 61h

 

found that bit 4 (Refresh Detect) failed to

 

toggle within an allotted amount of time.

INTERRUPT CONTROLLER FAILED

A sequential read/write of various

 

Interrupt Controller registers failed.

ROM CHECKSUM INCORRECT

A checksum of the ROM BIOS does not

 

match the byte value at F000:FFFF.
