Appendix D Detailed system information

Whenever you start up your system, the CPU card runs a series of pro-

grams to test and initialize board hardware. If the routines encounter an

error in 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 bootup

sequence. The cure for most nonfatal error messages is simply to run the

BIOS SETUP program, discussed in Chapter 3.

If the routines encounter a fatal error, they will stop the tests and output a

message indicating which test failed. If the fatal error comes before the

screen device initializes, the card will indicate the error code through a

series of beeps.

You can also determine the number of the test that failed by reading the

LED indicators on the top of the PCA-6145B/PCA-6145L board.

Please make a note of any POST error codes before you contact Advan-

tech for technical support.
