BIOS ERROR

MESSAGES

(CONTINUED)

Message

Description

 

 

CH-2 Timer Error

Most AT standard system boards include two timers. An error

 

with Timer #1 is a fatal error, explained in BIOS Beep Codes

 

earlier in this appendix. If an error occurs with Timer #2, this

 

error message appears.

CMOS Battery State Low

There is a battery in the system which is used for storing the

 

CMOS values. This battery appears to be low in power and

 

needs to be replaced.

CMOS Checksum Failure

After the CMOS values are saved, a checksum value is generated

 

to provide for error checking. If the previous value is different

 

from the value currently read, this error message appears. To

 

correct the error, run the BIOS Setup Utility.

CMOS Display Type Mismatch

The type of video stored in CMOS does not match the type

 

detected by the BIOS. Run the BIOS Setup Utility to correct the

 

error.

CMOS Memory Size Mismatch

If the BIOS finds the amount of memory on the system board to

 

be different from the amount stored in CMOS, this error message

 

is generated. Run the BIOS Setup Utility to correct the error.

CMOS System Options Not Set

The values stored in the CMOS are either corrupt or nonexistent.

 

Run the BIOS Setup Utility to correct the error.

CMOS Time & Date Not Set

Use Standard Setup in the BIOS Setup Utility to set the date and

 

time of the CMOS.

D: Drive Error

The BIOS is not receiving any response from hard disk drive D:.

 

Check Standard Setup using the BIOS Setup Utility to see if the

 

correct hard disk drive has been selected.

D: Drive Failure

The BIOS cannot get any response from hard disk drive C:. It

 

may be necessary to replace the hard disk.

Diskette Boot Failure

The disk used to boot up in floppy drive A: is corrupt, which

 

means it cannot be used to boot up the system. Use another

 

boot disk and follow the instructions on the screen.

Display Switch Not Proper

Some systems require that a video switch on the processor be

 

set to either color or monochrome, depending upon the type of

 

video being used. To correct this situation, set the switch

 

properly after the system is powered off.

DMA Error

An error has occurred in the DMA controller on the processor

 

board.

DMA #1 Error

An error has occurred in the first DMA channel on the processor

 

board.

DMA #2 Error

An error has occurred in the second DMA channel on the

 

processor board.

FDD Controller Failure

The BIOS is not able to communicate with the floppy disk drive

 

controller. Check all appropriate connections after the system is

 

powered off.
