DISPLAY SWITCH IS SET INCORRECTLY
The display switch on the system board can be set to either mono-
chrome or color. This error indicates the switch is set to a different
setting than indicated in Setup. Determine which setting is correct and
either turn off the system and change the jumper or enter Setup and
change the VIDEO selection.
DISPLAY TYPE HAS CHANGED SINCE LAST BOOT
Since last powering off the system, the display adapter has been
changed. You must configure the system for the new display type.
ERROR ENCOUNTERED INITIALIZING HARD DRIVE
The hard drive cannot be initialized. Be sure the adapter is installed
correctly and all cables are correctly and firmly attached. Also, be sure
the correct hard drive type is selected in Setup.
ERROR INITIALIZING HARD DISK CONTROLLER
The system cannot initialize the controller. Make sure the card is cor-
rectly and firmly installed in the bus. Be sure the correct hard drive type
is selected in Setup. Also, check to see if any jumper needs to be set
correctly on the hard drive.
FLOPPY DISK CNTRLR ERROR OR NO CNTRLR PRESENT
The system cannot find or initialize the floppy drive controller. Make
sure the controller is installed correctly and firmly. If no floppy drive is
installed, be sure the Diskette Drive selection in Setup is set to NONE.
KEYBOARD ERROR OR NO KEYBOARD PRESENT
Cannot initialize the keyboard. Make sure the keyboard is attached cor-
rectly and no keys are being pressed during the boot.
If you are purposely configuring the system without a keyboard, set the
error halt condition in Setup to HALT ON ALL, BUT KEYBOARD. This
will cause the BIOS to ignore the missing keyboard and continue the
boot.
MEMORY ADDRESS ERROR AT...
Indicates a memory address error at a specific location. You can use
this location along with the memory map for your system to find and
replace the bad memory chips.
