DISK BOOT failure
INSERT SYSTEM DISK AND PRESS ENTER
No boot device was found. This could mean that either a boot drive was not detected or the drive does
not contain proper system boot files. Insert a system disk into Drive A: and press <Enter>. If you
assumed the system would boot from the hard drive, make sure the controller is inserted correctly and all
cables are properly attached. Also be sure the disk is formatted as a boot device. Then reboot the
system.
Diskette drives or types mismatch error
RUN SETUP
Type of diskette drive installed in the system is different from the CMOS definition. Run Setup to
reconfigure the drive type correctly.
Display switch is set incorrectly
Display switch on the motherboard can be set to either monochrome or color. This 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.
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.
EISA configuration checksum error
PLEASE RUN EISA CONFIGURATION UTILITY
The EISA non-volatile RAM checksum is incorrect or cannot correctly read the EISA slot. This can
indicate either the EISA non-volatile memory has become corrupt or the slot has been configured
incorrectly. Also be sure the card is in-stalled firmly in the slot.
EISA configuration is not complete
PLEASE RUN EISA CONFIGURATION UTILITY
The slot configuration information stored in the EISA non-volatile memory is incomplete.
Note: When either of these errors appear, the system will boot in ISA mode,
which allows you to run the EISA Configuration Utility.
Error encountered initializing hard drive
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
Cannot initialize controller. Make sure the cord is correctly 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.
