POWER ON SELF TEST
MESSAGES
The following is an alphabetic list of error-and-
status messages that BIOS and/or your operat-
ing system can generate and an explanation of
each message. Error messages are marked with
an *. The most common errors are marked with
a #. If an error message is displayed that is not
in this list, write it down and check your operat-
ing system documentation both on screen and
in the manual. If you can find no reference to the
message and its meaning is not clear, contact
your support representative for assistance.
nnnn Cache SRAM Passed
Where nnnn is the amount of system cache in
kilobytes successfully tested by the Power On
Self Test. (This can only appear if you have an
SRAM PC Card installed.)
*Diskette drive A error or Diskette drive B
error
Drive A: or B: is present but fails the BIOS Power
On Self Test diskette tests. Check to see that the
drive is defined with the proper diskette type in
the Setup Utility, and that the diskette drive is
installed correctly. If the disk drive is properly
defined and installed, avoid using it and contact
your support representative.
*Extended RAM Failed at offset: nnnn
Extended memory not working or not configured
properly. If you have an installed memory upgrade
module, verify that the module is properly in-
stalled. If it is properly installed, you may want to
check your Windows Setup to be sure it is not
using unavailable memory until you can contact
your support representative.
nnnn Extended RAM Passed
Where nnnn is the amount of memory in kilo-
bytes successfully tested.
84
*Failing Bits: nnnn The hex number nnnn
This is a map of the bits at the memory address
(in System, Extended, or Shadow memory) which
failed the memory test. Each 1 (one) in the map
indicates a failed bit. This is a serious fault that
may cause you to lose data if you continue. Con-
tact your support representative.
*Fixed Disk x Failure or Fixed Disk Control-
ler Failure (where x = 1-4)
The fixed disk is not working or not configured
properly. This may mean that the hard drive type
identified in your setup utility does not agree with
the type detected by the Power On Self Test. Run
the setup utility to check for the hard drive type
settings and correct them if necessary. If the set-
tings are OK and the message appears when
you restart the system, there may be a serious
fault which might cause you to lose data if you
continue. Contact your support representative.
*Invalid NVRAM media type
Problem with NVRAM access. In the unlikely case
that you see this message you may have some
display problems. You can continue operating but
should contact your support representative for
more information.

to replace your keyboard or keyboard controller
but may be able to use an external keyboard until
then. Contact your support representative.
*Keyboard error
Keyboard not working. You may have to replace
your keyboard or keyboard controller but may be
able to use an external keyboard until then. Con-
tact your support representative.
