Description
Recommended Action
CMOS checksum invalid, run
SCU
CMOS RAM information
has been corrupted.
Run Computer Setup to
reinitialize CMOS-RAM.
CMOS failure, run SCU
CMOS RAM has lost
power.
Run Computer Setup to
reinitialize CMOS-RAM.
Diskette controller error
The diskette drive
controller failed to
respond to the recalibrate
command.
If there is no diskette drive in the
system, run Computer Setup to
properly configure the CMOS-
RAM to show no diskette drive
present. If the problem persists,
or if a diskette drive is present,
complete these steps until the
problems is solved:
1.
Check diskette drive
connections.
2.
Replace diskette drive.
3.
Replace system board
.
Diskette track 0 failed
The diskette drive cannot
read track 0 of the
diskette in the drive.
Try another diskette. If the
problem persists, you may need
to replace the diskette drive.
Hard disk controller error
The hard drive controller
failed to respond to the
reset command.
Check the drive parameters.
Turn off the system and check all
related connections.
Keyboard controller failure
The keyboard failed the
self-test command.
Replace the system board.
Keyboard failure
The keyboard failed to
respond to the RESET ID
command.
Replace the keyboard. If the
problem persists, replace the

with nonzero checksum (zz)
An illegal adapter ROM
was located at the
specified address.
Check the external adapter (such
as a video card) to determine if it
is causing the conflict.
Time/Date corrupt - run SCU
The time and date stored
in the real time clock have
been corrupted, possibly
by a
power loss.
1.
Run Computer Setup.
2.
If problem persists, replace
auxiliary battery.
3.
If problems persists, replace
system board.

A failure or an error
occurred when trying to
access the
hard drive.
1.
Run ScanDisk.
