controller. Check all appropriate connections after the system
is powered off.
INTR #1 Error Interrupt channel #1 has failed the POST routine.
INTR #2 Error Interrupt channel #2 has failed the POST routine.
Invalid Boot Diskette The BIOS can read the disk in floppy drive A:, but it cannot boot
up the system with it. Use another boot disk and follow the
instructions on the screen.
KB/Interface Error The BIOS has found an error with the keyboard connector on
the processor board.
Keyboard Error The BIOS has encountered a timing problem with the keyboard.
The Keyboard option in the Standard Setup portion of the BIOS
Setup Utility may be set to Not Installed, which will cause the
BIOS to skip the keyboard POST routines.
Keyboard Is Locked...
Unlock It
The keyboard lock on the system is engaged. It must be
unlocked to continue the bootup procedure.
No ROM BASIC This error occurs when a proper bootable sector cannot be
found on either floppy disk drive A: or hard disk drive C:. The
BIOS will try at this point to run ROM Basic, and the error
message is generated when the BIOS does not find it.
Off Board Parity Error The BIOS has encountered a parity error in memory installed
on an adapter card in an I/O (Bus) expansion slot. The message
appears as follows:
OFF BOARD PARITY ERROR
ADDR (HEX) = (XXXX)
where XXXX is the address (in hexadecimal) at which the error
has occurred. “Off Board” means that it is part of the memory
installed via an expansion card in an I/O (Bus) slot, as opposed
to memory attached directly to the processor board.
On Board Parity Error The BIOS has encountered a parity error in memory installed on
the processor board. The message appears as follows:
ON BOARD PARITY ERROR
ADDR (HEX) = (XXXX)
where XXXX is the address (in hexadecimal) at which the error
has occurred. “On Board” means that it is part of the memory
directly attached to the processor board, as opposed to memory
installed via an expansion card in an I/O (Bus) slot.
Parity Error ???? The BIOS has encountered a parity error with some memory in
the system, but it is not able to determine the address of the
error.
