Technical Information
Network
When the power saving function is running, communications software may malfunc-
tion.  For example, communications may be halted if the standby (hibernation) mode
is activated.  The computer must be restarted if one of these modes is entered during
data communications.
Be sure that the power of the display is cut (for energy conservation purposes) or the
computer enters standby (hibernation) mode after the communications software is
closed.
The network connection may be severed under the condition the power of the display
is off (for energy conservation purposes) and standby (hibernation) mode.
 When network or communication software is to be used, set [Sys-
tem standby], [Turn off monitor] and [Turn off hard disks] (in [Start] -
[Settings] - [Control Panel] - [Power Management]) to [Never].
When network or communication software is to be used, set [Sys-
tem standby] and [System hibernates], [Turn off monitor] and [Turn
off hard disks] (in [Start] - [Settings] - [Control Panel] - [Power Op-
tions]) to [Never].
Windows 98
Windows 2000
Windows Security Function
Windows 2000 has a security function that differs from the security function of the Setup
Utility.  For detailed information, refer to the Windows help.
Set the password for secrecy and protection.
Only an account for the Administrator is created the first time the computer is
started.  Create accounts for person who are actually going to use a computer.
We recommend using an NTFS file system in order to use the Windows security
function.

List of Error Codes 
The following is a list of the messages that BIOS can display.  Most of them occur during POST.  Some of them display
information about a hardware device, e.g., the amount of memory installed.  Others may indicate a problem with a
device, such as the way it has been configured.  Following the list are explanations of the messages and remedies for
reported problems.
If your system displays one of except the messages marked below with an asterisk (*), write down the message and
contact Panasonic Technical Support.  If your system fails after you make changes in the Setup menus, reset the
computer, enter Setup and install Setup defaults or correct the error.
0200  Failure Fixed Disk
Fixed disk in not working or not configured properly.  Check to see if fixed disk is attached properly.  Run Setup.  Find out if the
fixed-disk type is correctly identified.
0210  Stuck key
Stuck key on keyboard.
0211  Keyboard error
Keyboard not working.
0212  Keyboard Controller Failed
Keyboard controller failed test.  May require replacing keyboard controller
0213  Keyboard locked - Unlock key switch
Unlock the system to proceed.
0230  System RAM Failed at offset : nnnn
System RAM failed at offset nnnn of in the 64k block at which the error was detected.
0231  Shadow RAM Failed at offset : nnnn
Shadow RAM failed at offset nnnn of the 64k block at which the error was detected.
0232  Extended RAM Failed at offset : nnnn
Extended memory not working or not configured properly at offset nnnn.
0250  System battery is dead - Replace and run SETUP
The CMOS clock battery indicator shows the battery is dead.  Replace the battery and run Setup to reconfigure the system.
*0251  System CMOS checksum bad - Default configuration used
System CMOS has been corrupted or modified incorrectly, perhaps by an application program that changes data stored in
CMOS. The BIOS installed Default SETUP Values. If you do not want these values, enter Setup and enter your own values.  If the
error persists, check the system battery or contact Panasonic Technical Support.
0260  System timer error
The timer test failed. Requires repair of system board.
0270  Real time clock error
Real-time clock fails BIOS test.  May require board repair.
*0280  Previous boot incomplete - Default configuration used
Previous POST did not complete successfully.  POST loads default values and offers to run Setup.  If the failure was caused by
incorrect values and they are not corrected, the next boot will likely fail.  On systems with control of wait states, improper Setup
settings can also terminate POST and cause this error on the next boot.  Run Setup and verify that the wait-state configuration
is correct.  This error is cleared the next time the system is booted.
0281  Memory Size found by POST differed from EISA CMOS
Memory size found by POST differed from EISA CMOS.
02D0  System cache error - Cache disabled
Contact Panasonic Technical Support.
02F0: CPU ID:
CPU socket number for Multi-Processor error.
02F4:  EISA CMOS not writable
ServerBIOS2 test error:  Cannot write to EISA CMOS.

02F7:  Fail - Safe Timer NMI Failed
ServerBIOS2 test error: Fail-Safe Timer takes too long.
device address Conflict
Address conflict for specified device.
Allocation Error for: device
Run ISA or EISA Configuration Utility to resolve resource conflict for the specified device.
Failing Bits : nnnn
The hex number nnnn is a map of the bits at the RAM address which failed the memory test.  Each 1 (one) in the map indicates
a failed bit.  See error 230,231 or 232 for offset address of the failure in System, Extended or Shadow memory.
Invalid System Configuration Data
Problem with NVRAM (CMOS) data.
I/O device IRQ conflict
I/O device IRQ conflict error.
Operating System not found
Operating system cannot be located on either drive A: or drive C:.  Enter Setup and see if fixed disk and drive A: are properly
identified.
Parity Check 1 nnnn
Parity error found in the system bus.  BIOS attempts to locate the address and display it on the screen.  If it cannot locate the
address, it displays ????.  Parity is a method for checking errors in binary data.  A parity error indicates that some data has been
corrupted.
Parity Check 2 nnnn
Parity error found in the I/O bus.  BIOS attempts to locate the address and display it on the screen.  If it cannot locate the address,
it displays ????.
