and firmly attached. Also be sure the correct hard drive type is selected in Setup.
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 on
the hard drive.
EISA configuration invalid
[PLEASE RUN EISA CONFIGURATION UTILITY]
The non-volatile memory containing EISA configuration information was programmed incorrectly or has
become corrupt. Re-run EISA configuration utility to correctly program the memory.
CAUTION
When either of these errors appears, the system will boot in ISA mode, which allows you to run the
EISA Configuration Utility.
Keyboard error or no keyboard present
Cannot initialize the keyboard. Make sure the keyboard is attached correctly and no keys are being
pressed during the boot.
If you are purposely configuring the system without a keyboard, set the error halt condition in Setup to
HALT ON ALL, BUT KEYBOARD. This will cause the BIOS to ignore the missing keyboard and
continue the boot.
