Diskette read failure
Faulty or improperly inserted
diskette.
Replace the diskette.
Diskette subsystem reset failed
Faulty or improperly installed
diskette drive.
Ensure that the diskette drive is properly installed. If the problem
persists, replace the diskette drive (see "CD and Diskettes Drives").
ECC memory error
Faulty or improperly installed
memory modules.
Ensure that the memory modules are properly installed. If the problem
persists, replace the faulty memory module(s) (see "Memory Modules").
Error: Maximum PCI option ROM count
exceeded!
Too many expansion cards have
ROM enabled in the System Setup
program.
Disable ROM for some of the expansion cards (see "Using the System
Setup Program").
Gate A20 failure
Faulty keyboard controller; faulty
system board.
Replace the system board (see "System Board").
Hard disk controller failure
Incorrect configuration settings in
System Setup program;
improperly installed hard drive, or
loose interface or power cable;
faulty hard-drive controller
subsystem.
Run the System Setup program to correct the drive type (see "Using the
System Setup Program"). If the problem persists, ensure that the hard
drives are properly installed (see "Hard Drives"). If the problem persists,
replace the system board (see "System Board").
Hard disk read failure
I/O parity interrupt at address
Faulty or improperly installed
expansion card.
Ensure that the expansion cards are properly installed. If the problem
persists, replace the faulty expansion card(s) (see "Expansion Cards").
Invalid configuration information -
please run SETUP program
Incorrect configuration settings in
System Setup program;
NVRAM_CLR jumper is installed;
faulty system battery.
Check the System Setup configuration settings (see "Using the System
Setup Program"). Remove the NVRAM_CLR jumper (see Figure5-2 for
jumper location). If the problem persists, replace the system battery
(see "System Battery").
Invalid NVRAM configuration, resource re-
allocated
System configuration data has
been ignored.
Check the System Setup configuration settings (see "Using the System
Setup Program").
Invalid SCSI configuration
SCSI cable detected on connector SCSIB of
the SCSI backplane, daughter card not
present
A SCSI cable is connected to the
channel B connector on the SCSI
backplane board; SCSI backplane
daughter card is not installed.
If a cable is connected to the SCSIB backplane board connector, the
SCSI backplane daughter card must be installed. Ensure that the
backplane daughter card is properly installed (see "SCSI Backplane
Daughter Card").
Keyboard controller failure
Faulty keyboard controller; faulty
system board.
Replace the system board (see "System Board").
Keyboard clock line failure
Loose or improperly connected
keyboard cable; faulty keyboard;
faulty keyboard controller.
Check the keyboard cable and connector. If the problem persists, replace
the keyboard. If the problem persists, replace the system board (see
"System Board").
Keyboard data line failure
Keyboard failure
Keyboard stuck key failure
Memory address line failure at address,
read value expecting value
Faulty or improperly installed
memory modules.
Ensure that the memory modules are properly installed. If the problem
persists, replace the faulty memory module(s) (see "Memory Modules").
Memory double word logic failure at
address, read value expecting value
Memory high address line failure at start
address to end address
Memory high data line failure at start
address to end address
Memory odd/even logic failure at start
address to end address
Memory parity failure at start address to
end address
Memory parity error at address
Memory write/read failure at address,
read value expecting value
No boot device available
Faulty or missing CD/diskette
drive subsystem, hard drive, or
hard-drive subsystem.
Check the configuration settings in the System Setup program for
Integrated Devices (see "Using the System Setup Program"). If booting
from a SCSI controller, ensure that the controller is properly connected.
If the problem persists, replace the faulty drive(s) (see "CD and
Diskettes Drives" and "Hard Drives"). If the problem persists, replace the
system board (see "System Board").
No boot sector on hard- disk
No operating system on hard
drive.
Check the hard-drive configuration settings in the System Setup program
(see "Using the System Setup Program").
No PXE-capable device available
<F12> pressed during POST and
no PXE devices are detected.
Check the configuration settings in the System Setup program for the
NICs (see "Using the System Setup Program").
No timer tick interrupt
Faulty system board.
Replace the system board (see "System Board").
Not a boot diskette
No operating system on diskette.
Use a bootable diskette.
PCI BIOS failed to install
Loose cables to expansion card
(s); faulty or improperly installed
expansion card.
Ensure that cables to expansion cards are properly connected. Ensure
that the expansion cards are properly installed. If the problem persists,
replace the faulty expansion card(s) (see "Expansion Cards").
Plug & Play Configuration Error Embedded
xxx
Error encountered in initializing
PCI device; faulty system board.
Install the NVRAM_CLR jumper and reboot the system (see Figure5-2 for
jumper location). If the problem persists, ensure that the expansion
cards are properly installed. If the problem persists, replace the faulty
expansion card(s) (see "Expansion Cards"). If the problem persists,
update the BIOS firmware. Download the latest firmware from the
Dell|Supportwebsiteatsupport.dell.com.
Plug & Play Configuration Error PCI_n
Error encountered in initializing
PCI adapter.
Primary backplane is not present
Faulty or improperly installed SCSI
backplane board.
Ensure that the SCSI backplane board is properly installed. If the
problem persists, replace the backplane board (see "SCSI Backplane
Board").
