POST Message Description
1762 An IDE configuration error occurred. This could be caused by one of the
following:
A hard disk or other IDE drive (such as an IDE CD-ROM drive) was
added or removed, but the changes to the Configuration/Setup Utility
program have not yet been saved. Refer to page 44 for further
information and instructions on saving the configuration.
A hard disk or other IDE drive was added, but the master/subordinate
(slave) setting on the drive is improperly set.
The power or IDE cable is disconnected or not fully seated.
A hard disk drive is failing.
Action: Verify that the Configuration/Setup Utility program correctly
reflects the number of IDE drives installed (hard disk drives, CD-ROM
drives, and so on). For more information, refer to Chapter 5, “Using the
Configuration/Setup Utility Program” on page 39.
If the information is correct, save the settings, exit from the
Configuration/Setup Utility program, and restart the computer.
If the information is not correct, do the following.
1. Exit from the Configuration/Setup Utility program without saving the
settings.
2. Verify that the power cable and IDE cable are fully seated into the
drive connectors, and the IDE cable is fully seated into the connector
on the system board.
3. If you just added a new drive, verify that the drive you added has the
master-subordinate (slave) setting set correctly. If the new drive is the
only drive attached to the IDE cable, it must be set as the master. If it
is the second drive on the IDE cable, it must be set as the subordinate.
Note: If you installed two new drives on the same cable, ensure that
one is set as a master and one is set as a subordinate.
See the instructions that came with your new drive for the jumper
locations and settings.
4. Restart the computer. If the 1762 error message appears again, verify
that the IDE drive information in the Configuration/Setup Utility
program is correct. If it is correct, save the information and restart the
computer. If the information is still incorrect, you might have a failing
drive. Have the computer serviced.
