Run Setup to re-configure the drive type correctly. Ö DISPLAY SWITCH IS SET INCORRECTLY Display switch on the motherboard can be set to either monochrome or color.
  • Page 101 Appendix A: Post Message Ö ERROR INITIALIZING HARD DISK CONTROLLER Cannot initialize controller. Make sure the cord is correctly and firmly installed in the bus. Be sure the correct hard drive type is selected in Setup. Also check to see if any jumper needs to be set correctly in the hard drive.
  • Page 102 GA-586TX Ö MEMORY SIZE HAS CHANGED SINCE LAST BOOT Memory has been added or removed since the last boot. In EISA mode use Configuration Utility to re-configure the memory configuration. In ISA mode enter Setup and enter the new memory size in the memory fields.
  • Page 103 Appendix A: Post Message Ö Should Have ISA Board But Not Found PLEASE RUN EISA CONFIGURATION UTILITY The board installed is not responding to the ID request, or no board ID has been found in the indicated slot. When this error appears, the system will boot in ISA mode, which allows you to run the EISA Configuration Utility.
