Table 83. BIOS Error Messages
Error Message Explanation of Error Message
Timer Error This timer is based on 8254 resides in ICH-3. Error message indicates an error while
programming the count register of the timer. This may indicate a problem with the timer in
ICH-3
CMOS Battery
Low
BIOS will report this error message when status bit (RTC_REGD.Bit7) in ICH3 is low. This
bit is hardwired to RTC power, so it will be low when the voltage in SuperCAP is low.
CMOS Settings
Wrong
BIOS will load default value after it detects CMOS corruption. Error message is triggered if
BIOS fails to load the default value to CMOS.
CMOS
Checksum Bad
CMOS contents failed the checksum check. Error message indicates that the CMOS data
has been changed by a program other than the BIOS or the CMOS is not retaining it's data
due to hardware malfunction
RAM R/W test
failed
Error message indicates BIOS fail to read/write to memory content during RAM R/W test.
RAM R/W test is executed during POST.
CMOS Date/
Time Not Set
Error message indicates BIOS has detected an invalid value in date & time register. (e.g.:
Invalid date = 50h or invalid month = 13h.
Clear CMOS
Jumper
installed
Error message indicates that Jumper J16-3 to 5 is set
Clear Password
Jumper
installed
Error message indicates that Jumper J16-1 to 3 is set
MFG Jumper
installed
Error message indicates that Jumper J16-9 to 10 is set. (Jumper is used only in
manufacturing test)
BMC is in
Update Mode
Error message indicates that Jumper J16-2 to 4 is set.
BMC does not
respond to
BIOS IPMI
command
Error message appears when BIOS issue an IPMI command to IPMC, but IPMC is not
responsive to the command and does not return successful completion code to BIOS.
System Event
Log is Full
Error message indicates the System Event Log storage is full.
Refresh timer
test failed
This timer is a counter based on 82C54 which provides memory refresh request signal
periodically. Memory content need to be refreshed to compensate for the gradual leakage
of charge from the capacitors which stores the data.
KBC BAT Test
failed
Error message indicates that Keyboard controller BAT test has failed.
