Error Message SummaryError Message Summary

The Error Message Utility or EMU (.COM application written in C language) is to provide full screen online help messages (localized) on most common POST errors. In the event of an error generated in POST (Power-On-Self- Test) during the boot process, there are two beeps, then the Error Setup Manager gives access to one or more detected errors. For each error, a specific message is displayed on the monitor screen.

If the monitor is not available, a short error message is displayed on the MaxiLife LCD panel.

All errors detected by the POST have an associated EMU message. The following examples give the different types of error categories.

Category #1: If an error can be bypassed with <F1> or solved through Setup, the POST should prompt:

ERROR

0070 CPU Terminator Card ErrorPress <Enter> to view more information about error1<F1= Continue>

1.Intervention is required. For example, install a CPU Terminator Card in the vacant processor socket.

Category #2: If the error is only a warning (i.e. key stuck), the POST should prompt:

WARNING00100 Keyboard Warning1

1.Warning message followed by a short timeout period. Then the system continues to boot without any required intervention.

Category #3:If the error is serious, the POST should prompt:

00xx

The BIOS has detected a serious problem that prevents your PC from booting
