Bit

7

When

set

to

1,

this

bit

indicates

that

the

real-time

clock

 

 

has

lost

power.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Bit

6

When set to 1, this bit indicates that the checksum is

 

 

incorrect.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Bit

5

This

 

bit

indicates the results of a power-on check of the

 

 

equipment byte (hex 014). When set to 1, this bit

 

 

 

 

indicates

that

the configuration information is incorrect.

Bit

4

When

set

to

1,

this

bit

indicates

that

the

memory

size

 

 

does

not

match

the

configuration information.

 

 

 

Bit

3

When

set

to

1,

this bit indicates that the

controller

or hard

 

 

disk

 

drive failed

initialization.

 

 

 

 

 

Bit

2

When

set

to

1,

this

bit

indicates

that

the

time

is

invalid.

Bits

1, These0

bits are reserved.

Status

Byte

(Hex

00F):

This byte is defined by the

 

 

power-on diagnostic

programs.
