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.

When you should encounter fatal errors, please contact

your distributor or sales representative.

System configuration verification

These routines check the current system configuration the

values stored in the CMOS memory of the board. 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:

You are starting your system for the first time

You have changed the hardware attached to your system

The CMOS memory has lost power and the configuration

information has been erased.

The HSB-660S/I CMOS memory has an integral lithium

battery backup for data retention. However, you will need

to replace the complete unit when it finally runs down.
