BIOS(16): Option PROM address H, bad checksum
The option PROM (additional board programs) at the specified address (memory paragraph)
contains a bad checksum and may be defective.
BIOS(17): Serial port 1 failed
BIOS(18): Serial port 2 failed
The serial port(s) has/have conflicting I/O-addresses. Check the Admin-Config menu in
SETUP and change the value of the respective serial port parameter to Disabled or Auto.
BIOS(19): Parallel port failed
The parallel port on the back plane board probably conflicts with that on an option board.
Check the Admin-Config menu SETUP and change the value of the parallel port parameter to
Disabled, Auto, 378H, or 278H.
BIOS(20): Bad checksum in system config area
BIOS(21): Bad checksum in the user config area
There is (or has been) a bad checksum in the parameter memory. This means that the
memory contents have been changed, but not by the SETUP Utility. When this fault exists,
only the base memory and the diskette drive can be used because the information in the
parameter memory is unreliable. Use SETUP to check the parameters. If the error persists,
battery-backed-up RAM may be defective.
BIOS(22): CMOS clock error
The system clock has stopped, or operates at the wrong speed. Use SETUP to correct the
speed.
BIOS(23): Hard disk init failed
A fixed-disk fault has been recorded in the parameter memory, and SETUP has not been
used for checking the fixed-disk types since the recording. When an unformatted fixed disk is
installed, this message is normal and should be ignored. Use SETUP to correct the fixed-disk
type. If the message persists, the fixed disk or the disk controller is defective.
BIOS(24): Bad memory size in CMOS RAM
The actual memory size clashes with that in the parameter memory. Use SETUP to correct
the size.
BIOS(25): Bad configuration in CMOS RAM
There is (or has been) invalid information in the parameter memory. Check the parameters in
SETUP.
BIOS(26): Bad CMOS RAM checksum
There is (or has been) a bad checksum in the parameter memory. This means that the
memory contents have been changed, but not by the SETUP Utility. When this fault exists,
only the base memory and the diskette drive can be used because the information in the
parameter memory is unreliable. Check the parameters in SETUP. If the error persists,
battery-backed-up RAM may be defective, and you should have it replaced.
BIOS(27): No battery for CMOS clock/RAM
The battery-backed-up RAM system clock/calendar and parameter memory are defective. If
the error persists, contact service to have the battery-backed-up RAM changed.
BIOS(30): Keyboard error, key = scan codeH
The system detected a stuck key during the start-up procedure. This message also appears if
you have pressed any key during the start-up procedure, in which case you can ignore it.
BIOS(31): Keyboard error
While the keyboard was being reset, connection with the controller was disconnected.
BIOS(32): Keyboard error
During reset, the keyboard did not respond to the reset command.
BIOS(33): Keyboard error
During reset, the keyboard did not acknowledge the reset command.
