RAM Check

The computer now begins to check the RAM installed on the

main system board and any option cards. During the check, you

see this message:

nnn KB OK

where nnn indicates the amount of memory in which no

malfunction is found. This value increases continuously by
64KB up to the amount of RAM installed on the main board,

which is 640KB. If the computer detects an error in the first
64KB area, it displays an error message and halts with no

further information.

If there are faulty RAM chips in your system,

you

see this

message:

nnnn0

201-Memory error

Give the error message and number to your Customer Care
Center.

Keyboard Controller and Keyboard Check

Next, the computer checks the keyboard controller and
keyboard for problems such as failure of one of the keys to

release. If there are any errors in the connection between the
keyboard and the computer, you see this error message:

301-Keyboard error

When a number precedes this message, the number represents

the key (in hexadecimal) that is causing the error. This
message may occur after you have used Ctrl Alt Del to reset the

computer, and does not necessarily indicate a problem.
