POST Errors Message Definition Whenever a non-fatal error occurs during POST, an error message describing the problem appears onscreen. These error messages are displayed in normal video (white text on black background), and show the details of the error. The following is an example of a POST error message: 012 --- CMOS Date/Time not set Table 10 POST Error Messages lists the most common POST error messages with corresponding troubleshooting recommendation. HP recommends that you correct the error, even if the server appears to boot successfully. Table 10 POST Error Messages Error-Code 000 003 004 005 012 048 04D 04E Error Message Description / Corrective Action Timer Error Indicates an error while programming the count register of channel 2 of the 8254 timer. This may indicate a problem with system hardware. Requires repair of the system board. CMOS Battery Low CMOS Battery is low. This message usually indicates that the CMOS battery needs to be replaced. It could also appear when the users intentionally discharge the CMOS battery. CMOS setting Wrong CMOS settings are invalid. This error can be resolved by using F9 to load optimal default in the Setup Utility. CMOS checksum bad and boot in a safe configuration please reboot again for optimal default settings. CMOS contents failed the Checksum check. Indicates that the CMOS data has been changed by a program other than the BIOS or that the CMOS is not retaining its data due to malfunction. This error can be resolved by using F9 to load optimal default in the Setup Utility. CMOS Date/Time not Set The CMOS Date and/or Time are invalid. This error can be resolved by readjusting the system time in the Setup Utility. Password check failed Password is incorrect after retried a few times. Users might need to reset the password. Primary Master Hard Disk Error The IDE/ATAPI device configured as Primary Master could not be properly initialized by the BIOS. This message is typically displayed when the BIOS is trying to detect and configure IDE/ATAPI devices in POST. Primary Slave Hard Disk Error The IDE/ATAPI device configured as Primary Slave could not be properly initialized by the BIOS. This message is typically displayed when the BIOS is trying to detect and configure IDE/ATAPI devices in POST. Contents 95
