POWER ON SELF TEST
MESSAGES
Using the Troubleshooting Table
The following is an alphabetic list of error-and-
status messages that BIOS and/or your operating
system can generate and an explanation of each
message. Error messages are marked with an *.
If an error message is displayed, write it down
and check your operating 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
installed. 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 kilobytes
successfully tested.
LB_GARLICS 05 (57-74)
*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.
Contact your support representative.
*Fixed Disk x Failure or Fixed Disk
Controller 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
settings 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.
*Incorrect Drive A type – run SETUP
Type of floppy drive A: not correctly identified in
setup. This means that the floppy disk 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 correct the inconsistency.
*Incorrect Drive B type – run SETUP
Type of floppy drive B: not correctly identified in
setup. This means that the floppy disk 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 correct the inconsistency.
*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.
