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 during POST.

configuration with a set of BIOS defaults designed
for the most stable, minimal-performance system
operations.
