If a non-fatal error occurs during the POST routines performed each time the system is powered on, the error message will appear on the screen in the following format:

ERROR Message Line 1

ERROR Message Line 2

Press F1 to Resume

Note the error message and press the <F1> key to continue with the bootup procedure.

_______________________________________________________________________

NOTE: If the Wait for ’F1’ If Any Error option in the Advanced Setup portion of the BIOS Setup Program has been set to Disabled, the "Press F1 to Resume" prompt will not appear on the last line. The bootup procedure will continue without waiting for operator response.

_______________________________________________________________________

For most of the error messages, there is no ERROR Message Line 2. Generally, for those messages containing an ERROR Message Line 2, the text will be "RUN SETUP UTILITY." Pressing the <F1> key will invoke the BIOS Setup Utility.

A description of each error message appears below. The errors are listed in alphabetical order, not in the order in which they may occur.
