Checking DRAM type and size

When unsupported memory connected, beeps

 

and halts.

 

(at cold boot)

 

(When DRAM size = o, it halts.)

 

 

 

 

 

 

Testing the stack area of SM-

Branch of resuming

When a CMOS error is detected, no resume

 

(only in Cold Boot)

occurs.

 

 

 

 

 

If “resume status code” is not set, no resume

 

 

occurs.
