POST Messages

During the power-on self test (POST), the BIOS either sounds a beep code or displays a message when it detects a correctable error. Following is a list of POST messages for the ISA BIOS kernel. Specific chipset ports and BIOS extensions may include additional messages. An error message may be followed by a prompt to press F1 to continue or press DEL to enter Setup.

Beep

Currently the only beep code indicates that a video error has occurred and the BIOS cannot initialize the video screen to display any additional information. This beep code consists of a single long beep followed by two short beeps.

BIOS ROM checksum error - System halted

The checksum of the BIOS code in the BIOS chip is incorrect, indicating the BIOS code may have become corrupt. Contact your system dealer to replace the BIOS.

CMOS battery failed

CMOS battery is no longer functional. Contact your system dealer for a replacement battery.
