POWER ON SELF TEST MESSAGES

The following is an alphabetic list of error-and-
status messages that Phoenix BIOS and/or your
operating system can generate and an explana-
tion of each message. Error messages are
marked with an *. Comments in italics are sug-
gestions of possible actions for you to consider,
or risks resulting from ignoring the message.
The most common errors are marked with a #.
If an error message is displayed that is not in
this list, write it down and check your operating
system documentation both on screen and in
the manual. If you can find no reference to the
message and its meaning is not clear, contact
your support representative for assistance.

nnnn Cache SRAM Passed

Where nnnn is the

amount of system cache in kilobytes success-
fully tested by the Power On Self Test. (This
can only appear if you have an SRAM PC
Card installed.)

*Diskette drive A error or Diskette drive
B error Drive A: or B: is present but fails the
BIOS Power On Self Test diskette tests. Check

to see that the drive is defined with the proper
diskette type in the Setup Utility,

(see page 69)

and that the diskette drive is installed correctly.
If the disk drive is properly defined and
installed, avoid using it and contact your
support representative.

*Extended RAM Failed at offset: nnnn

Extended memory not working or not config-
ured properly. If you have an installed memory
upgrade module, verify that the module is
properly installed. If it is properly installed, you
may want to check your Windows Setup to be
sure it is not using unavailable memory until
you can contact your support representative.

nnnn Extended RAM Passed

Where nnnn

is the amount of memory in kilobytes
successfully tested.

*Failing Bits: nnnn

The hex number nnnn

is a map of the bits at the memory address (in
System, Extended, or Shadow memory) which
failed the memory test. Each 1 (one) in the map
indicates a failed bit. This is a serious fault that

might cause you to lose data if you continue.
Contact your support representative.

*Fixed Disk x Failure or Fixed Disk Controller
Failure

(where x = 1-4) Fixed disk is not work-

ing or not configured properly. This may mean
that the hard drive type identified in your Setup
Utility does not agree with the type detected by
the Power On Self Test. Run the Setup Utility
to check for the hard drive type settings and
correct them if necessary. If the settings are
OK and the message appears when you restart
the system, there may be a serious fault which
might cause you to lose data if you continue.
Contact your support representative.

*Incorrect Drive A type – run SETUP

Type of

floppy drive A: not correctly identified in Setup.
This means that the floppy disk drive type iden-
tified in your Setup Utility does not agree with
the type detected by the Power On Self Test. Run
the Setup Utility to correct the inconsistency.

*Incorrect Drive B type – run SETUP

Type of

floppy drive B: not correctly identified in Setup.
