System Utilities  
CMOS Setup Utility  
CMOS setup is a hardware configuration program built into the system ROM, called the complementary metal-  
oxide semiconductor (CMOS) Setup Utility. Since most systems are already properly configured and  
optimized, there is no need to run this utility. You will need to run this utility under the following conditions.  
q
q
q
q
q
When changing the system configuration settings  
When redefining the communication ports to prevent any conflicts  
When modifying the power management configuration  
When changing the password or making other changes to the security setup  
When a configuration error is detected by the system and you are prompted ("Run Setup"  
message) to make changes to the CMOS setup  
NOTE: If you repeatedly receive Run Setup messages, the battery may be bad. In this case, the system  
cannot retain configuration values in CMOS. Ask a qualified technician for assistance.  
CMOS setup loads the configuration values in a battery-backed nonvolatile memory called CMOS RAM. This  
memory area is not part of the system RAM which allows configuration data to be retained when power is  
turned off.  
Before you run the CMOS Setup Utility, make sure that you have saved all open files. The system reboots  
immediately after you close the Setup.  
NOTE: CMOS Setup Utility will be simply referred to as “BIOS”, "Setup", or "Setup utility" in this guide.  
The screenshots used in this guide display default system values. These values may not be the same  
those found in your system.

Power-On Self-Test (POST)  
Each time you turn on the system, the Power-on Self Test (POST) is initiated. Several items are tested during  
POST, but is for the most part transparent to the user.  
The Power-On Self Test (POST) is a BIOS procedure that boots the system, initializes and diagnoses the  
system components, and controls the operation of the power-on password option. If POST discovers errors in  
system operations at power-on, it displays error messages on screen, generates a check point code at port  
80h or even halts the system if the error is fatal.  
The main components on the main board that must be diagnosed and/or initialized by POST to ensure system  
functionality are as follows:

POST Error Messages List  
If you cannot run the diagnostics program tests but did receive a POST error message, use "POST Error  
Messages List" to diagnose system problems. If you did not receive any error message, look for a description  
of your error symptoms in "Error Symptoms List"  
NOTE:  
When you have deemed it necessary to replace an FRU, and have done so, you must run a total  
system check to ensure that no other activity has been affected by the change. This system check can  
be done through the diagnostics program.  
NOTE: Check all power supply voltages, switch, and jumper settings before you replace the main board.  
Also check the power supply voltages if you have a "system no-power" condition.  
If you are unable to correct the problem by using the "BIOS Messages List" table and "Error Symptoms List"  
table, go to "Undetermined Problems".  
To diagnose a problem, first find the BIOS error messages in the left column. If directed to a check procedure,  
replace the FRU indicated in the check procedure. If no check procedure is indicated, the first Action/FRU  
listed in right column is the most likely cause.  
BIOS Messages  
Action/FRU  
BIOS ROM checksum error - System halted  
The checksum of the BIOS code in the BIOS chip  
is incorrect, indicating the BIOS code may have  
become corrupt. Contact your system dealer to  
replace the BIOS.  
CMOS Battery Failed  
The CMOS battery is no longer functional. Contact  
your system dealer for a replacement the BIOS.  
CMOS Checksum Error- defaults loaded  
Checksum of CMOS is incorrect, so the system  
loads the default equipment configuration. A  
checksum error may indicate that CMOS has  
become corrupt. A weak battery may have caused  
this error. Check the battery and replace if  
necessary.  
CPU at nnnn  
Displays the running speed of CPU.  
Display switch is set incorrectly  
The display switch on the motherboard can be set  
to either monochrome or color. This message  
indicates the switch is set to a different setting than  
indicated in Setup. Determine which setting is  
correct, and then either turn off the system and  
change the jumper, or enter Setup and change the  
Video selection.  
Press ESC to skip memory test  
Floppy disk(s) fail  
The user may press Esc to skip the full memory  
test.  
Cannot find or initialize the floppy drive controller  
or the drive. Make sure the controller is installed  
correctly, if no floppy drives are installed, be sure  
the Diskette Drive selection in Setup is set to  
NONE or AUTO.  
HARD DISK initializing - Please wait a moment  
HARD DISK INSTALL FAILURE  
Some hard drives require extra time to initialize.  
Cannot find or initialize the hard drive controller or  
the drive. Make sure the controller is installed  
correctly. If no hard drives are installed, be sure  
the Hard Drive Selection in Setup is set to NONE.

BIOS Messages  
Hard disk(s) diagnosis fail  
Action/FRU  
The system may run specific disk diagnostic  
routines. This message appears if one or more  
hard disks return an error when the diagnostics  
run.  
Keyboard Error Or No Keyboard Present  
Cannot initialize the keyboard. Make sure the  
keyboard is attached correctly and no keys are  
pressed during POST. To purposely configure the  
system without a keyboard, set the error halt  
condition in Setup to HALT ON ALL, BUT  
KEYBOARD. The BIOS then ignores the missing  
keyboard during POST.  
Keyboard is locked out - Unlock the key  
This message usually indicates that one or more  
keys have been pressed during the keyboard  
tests. Be sure no objects are resting on the  
keyboard.  
Memory Test:  
This message displays during a full memory test,  
counting down the memory areas being tested.  
Memory test fail  
If POST detects an error during memory testing,  
additional information appears giving specifics  
about the type and location of the memory error.  
Override enabled - Defaults loaded  
Press TAB to show POST screen  
If the system cannot boot using the current CMOS  
configuration, the BIOS can override the current  
configuration with a set of BIOS defaults designed  
for the most stable, minimal-performance system  
operations.  
System OEMs may replace the Phoenix  
Technologies Award BIOS POST display with their  
own proprietary display. Including this message in  
the OEM display permits the operator to switch  
between the OEM display and the default POST  
display.  
Primary master hard disk fail  
Primary slave hard disk fail  
Secondary master hard disk fail  
Secondary slave hard disk fail
