    APPENDIX TROUBLE SHOOTING This section outlines the error message may occur when you operate the system, also gives you the suggestions on solving the problems. Section includes: ! Trouble Shooting for Error Messages ! Trouble Shooting for POST Code Page: C-1...
  • Page 104 Appendix C Trouble Shooting TROUBLE SHOOTING FOR ERROR MESSAGE The following information gives you the error messages and the trouble shooting. Please adjust your systems according to the messages below. And make sure all the components and connectors are in proper position and firmly attached.
  • Page 105 Appendix C Trouble Shooting DISKETTE DRIVES OR TYPES MISMATCH ERROR : When the diskette drive type is different from CMOS, please run setup or configure the drive again. ERROR ENCOUNTERED INITIALIZING HARD DRIVE : When you can‘t initialize the hard drive. Assure the adapter is installed correctly and all cables are correctly and firmly attached.
  • Page 106 Appendix C Trouble Shooting MEMORY VERIFYING ERROR : It indicates an error verifying a value already written to memory. Use the location along with your system's memory map to locate the bad chip. OFFENDING ADDRESS MISSING : This message is used in connection with the I/O CHANNEL CHECK and RAM PARITY ERROR messages when the segment that has caused the problem cannot be isolated.
  • Page 107 Appendix C Trouble Shooting 07 : Verifies CMOS‘s basic R/W functionality. BE : Program defaults values into chipset according to the MODBINable Chipset Default Table. C1 : Auto-detection of onboard DRAM & Cache. C5 : Copy the BIOS from ROM into E0000-FFFFF shadow RAM so that POST will go faster.
  • Page 108 Appendix C Trouble Shooting 0E : 1. Initialize the APIC (Multi-Processor BIOS only). 2. Test video RAM (If Monochrome display device found). 3. Show messages including : -Award Logo, Copyright string, BIOS Date code & Part No. -OEM specific sign on messages. -Energy Star Loge (Green BIOS only).
  • Page 109 Appendix C Trouble Shooting 3E : Try to turn on Level 2 cache. Note : Some chipset may need to turn on the L2 cache in this stage. But usually, the cache is turn on later in POST 61h. BF : 1. Program the rest of the Chipset‘s value according to Setup. (Later Setup Value Program).
  • Page 110 Appendix C Trouble Shooting 53 : 1.If it is NOT a PnP BIOS, initialize serial & parallel ports. 2. Initialize time value in BIOS data area by translate the RTC time value into a timer tick value. 60 : Setup Virus Protection (Boot Sector Protection) functionality according to Setup setting.
