9. Self Test routines Power Self Tests Whenever you start up your system the CPU card runs a series of programs to test and initialize board hardware If the routines encounter an error in during the tests you will either hear a few short beeps or see an error message on the screen There are two kinds of errors fatal and non fatal The system can usually continue the boot up sequence with non fatal errors Non fatal error messages usually appear on the screen along with the following instructions Press F1 to RESUME Write down the message and press the F1 key to continue the bootup sequence The cure for most non fatal error messages is simply to run the BIOS SETUP program discussed in Chapter 5 If the routines encounter a fatal error they will stop the tests and output a message indicating which test failed If the fatal error comes before the screen device initializes the card will indicate the error code through a series of beeps You can also determine the number of the test that failed by reading the LED indicators on the top of the PCA 6134P board Please make a note of any BIOS error codes before you contact Advantech for technical support Beep codes 78 Beep codes indicate fatal errors through a series of audible tones output through the card s buzzer or a speaker The number of beeps indicates the error as shown in the following table BIOS error codes codes Beeps Meaning
