Memory size has decreased since the last boot. If no memory was
removed, then memory may be bad.
Memory Size Increased
Memory size has increased since the last boot. If no memory was
added, there may be a problem with the system.
Memory Size Changed
Memory size has changed since the last boot. If no memory was
added or removed, then memory may be bad.
No Boot Device Available
System did not find a device to boot.
Off Board Parity Error
A parity error occurred on an off-board card. This error is followed
by an address.
On Board Parity Error
A parity error occurred in onboard memory. This error is followed
by an address.
Parity Error
A parity error occurred in onboard memory at an unknown
address.
NVRAM / CMOS / PASSWORD
cleared by Jumper
NVRAM, CMOS, and passwords have been cleared. The system
should be powered down and the jumper removed.
<CTRL_N> Pressed
CMOS is ignored and NVRAM is cleared. User must enter Setup.
