If you are using a flat-panel display that requires loadable software drivers, this selftest

screen may appear as garbled or not at all. If you are using a SCSI disk drive, the bot-

tom of the screen will contain several messages from the SCSI BIOS.

For a 4 MB EPC-2 system, expect to see "3072K FOUND" for expansion memory. For

an 8 MB EPC-2 system, expect to see "7168K FOUND" for expansion memory. For 16

MB, you should see "15360K FOUND."

Error messages that you might encounter during the execution of the BIOS initialization

are:

KEYBOARD ERROR OR NO KEYBOARD PRESENT

This occurs if no keyboard is connected, if the keyboard is damaged or is not a PC/AT

keyboard, or if keys are pressed during the BIOS selftest.
