BIOS ERROR

MESSAGES

(CONTINUED)

Message

Description

 

 

HDD Controller Failure

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

 

controller. Check all appropriate connections after the system

 

is powered off.

INTR #1 Error

Interrupt channel #1 has failed the POST routine.

INTR #2 Error

Interrupt channel #2 has failed the POST routine.

Invalid Boot Diskette

The BIOS can read the disk in floppy drive A:, but it cannot boot

 

up the system with it. Use another boot disk and follow the

 

instructions on the screen.

KB/Interface Error

The BIOS has found an error with the keyboard connector on

 

the processor board.

Keyboard Error

The BIOS has encountered a timing problem with the keyboard.

 

The Keyboard option in the Standard Setup portion of the BIOS

 

Setup Utility may be set to Not Installed, which will cause the

 

BIOS to skip the keyboard POST routines.

Keyboard Is Locked...

The keyboard lock on the system is engaged. It must be

Unlock It

unlocked to continue the bootup procedure.

No ROM BASIC

This error occurs when a proper bootable sector cannot be

 

found on either floppy disk drive A: or hard disk drive C:. The

 

BIOS will try at this point to run ROM Basic, and the error

 

message is generated when the BIOS does not find it.

Off Board Parity Error

The BIOS has encountered a parity error in memory installed

 

on an adapter card in an I/O (Bus) expansion slot. The message

 

appears as follows:

 

OFF BOARD PARITY ERROR

 

ADDR (HEX) = (XXXX)

 

where XXXX is the address (in hexadecimal) at which the error

 

has occurred. “Off Board” means that it is part of the memory

 

installed via an expansion card in an I/O (Bus) slot, as opposed

 

to memory attached directly to the processor board.

On Board Parity Error

The BIOS has encountered a parity error in memory installed on

 

the processor board. The message appears as follows:

 

ON BOARD PARITY ERROR

 

ADDR (HEX) = (XXXX)

 

where XXXX is the address (in hexadecimal) at which the error

 

has occurred. “On Board” means that it is part of the memory

 

directly attached to the processor board, as opposed to memory

 

installed via an expansion card in an I/O (Bus) slot.

Parity Error ????

The BIOS has encountered a parity error with some memory in

 

the system, but it is not able to determine the address of the

 

error.
