System test and initialization

These routines test and initialize board hardware. If the routines encounter
an error during the tests, you will either hear a few short beeps or see an
error message on the screen. There are two kinds of errors: fatal and non-
fatal. The system can usually continue the boot up sequence with non-fatal
errors. Non-fatal error messages usually appear on the screen along with the
following instructions:
Press <F1> to RESUME
Write down the message and press the F1 key to continue the boot up
sequence.
System configuration verification
These routines check the current system configuration against the values
stored in the CMOS memory. If they do not match, the program outputs an
error message. You will then need to run the BIOS setup program to set the
configuration information in memory.
There are three situations in which you will need to change the CMOS
settings:
1. You are starting your system for the first time
2. You have changed the hardware attached to your system
3. The CMOS memory has lost power and the configuration
