Secondary Master Drive - ATAPI Incompatible
The IDE/ATAPI device configured as Secondary Master failed an ATAPI compatibility test. This
message is typically displayed when the BIOS is trying to detect and configure IDE/ATAPI devices
in POST.
Secondary Slave Drive - ATAPI Incompatible
The IDE/ATAPI device configured as Secondary Slave failed an ATAPI compatibility test. This
message is typically displayed when the BIOS is trying to detect and configure IDE/ATAPI devices
in POST.
S.M.A.R.T. Capable but Command Failed
The BIOS tried to send a S.M.A.R.T. message to a hard disk, but the command transaction failed.
This message can be reported by an ATAPI device using the S.M.A.R.T. error reporting standard.
S.M.A.R.T. failure messages may indicate the need to replace the hard disk.
S.M.A.R.T. Command Failed
The BIOS tried to send a S.M.A.R.T. message to a hard disk, but the command transaction failed.
This message can be reported by an ATAPI device using the S.M.A.R.T. error reporting standard.
S.M.A.R.T. failure messages may indicate the need to replace the hard disk.
S.M.A.R.T. Status BAD, Backup and Replace
A S.M.A.R.T. capable hard disk sends this message when it detects an imminent failure.
This message can be reported by an ATAPI device using the S.M.A.R.T. error reporting standard.
S.M.A.R.T. failure messages may indicate the need to replace the hard disk.
S.M.A.R.T. Capable and Status BAD
A S.M.A.R.T. capable hard disk sends this message when it detects an imminent failure.
This message can be reported by an ATAPI device using the S.M.A.R.T. error reporting standard.
S.M.A.R.T. failure messages may indicate the need to replace the hard disk.
System configuration messages
DMA-2 Error
Error initializing secondary DMA controller. This is a fatal error, often indicates a problem with
system hardware.
DMA Controller Error
POST error while trying to initialize the DMA controller. This is a fatal error, often indication a
problem with system hardware.
Checking NVRAM..Update Failed
BIOS could not write to the NVRAM block. This message appears when the FLASH part is
write-protected or if there is no FLASH part (System uses a PROM or EPROM).
Microcode Error
BIOS could not find or load the CPU Microcode Update to the CPU. This message only applies to
Intel CPUs. The message is most likely to appear when a new CPU is installed in a system board
with an outdated BIOS. In this case, the BIOS must be updated to include the Microcode Update
for the new CPU.
NVRAM Checksum Bad, NVRAM Cleared
There was an error in while validating the NVRAM data. This causes POST to clear the NVRAM data.
Resource Conflict
More than one system device is trying to use the same non-shareable resources (Memory or I/O).
