Error Codes and Messages

If the computer finds an error, it reports one of the following
types of error messages:
Power-on diagnostic and boot error messages
l
Error tone codes for fatal errors (that lock up the system)
l
Error tone codes for non-fatal errors (that do not lock up the
l
system).
Power-on Diagnostic and Boot Errors
When the poweron diagnostic tests detect an error, the
computer displays a message on the screen (as described below)
and the speaker beeps twice. If the error occurs before the
computer initializes the video display, the speaker sounds a
series of beeps (described in the next section).
Each error is identified by a message number and a countdown
number which the computer uses as it executes the test
associated with the error. For example, the following message is
countdown number 100 and error message number 0018:
100 lOO181: Invalid confipxatim informtim - pleaso mm SEmp
The table below lists the power-on diagnostic and boot error
messages, and some basic solutions to the problems. Check the
appropriate section(s) in this appendix for other solutions.

Error Tone Codes
If power-on diagnostic tests detect an error but cannot display an
error message, the computer sounds an error tone code. The tone
code is a distinct pattern of beeps that identifies the error, such as
one beep-two beeps--one beep. If the error is serious (fatal) the
computer locks up, but if the error is not serious (non-fatal) you
can continue using your computer.
The tables below list the fatal and non-fatal error codes.
