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 any of the below error messages other that the ones marked 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.  Requires repair of system board.
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 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 RAM Failed at address line : nnnn
Extended memory not working or not configured properly at offset or address line  nnnn.
0250 System battery is dead - Replace and run SETUP
The CMOS backup 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.  Requires repair of system board.
0271 Check date and time settings
Real-time clock is illegal. Run Setup and set the date and clock.
*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.
02F5:  DMA Test Failed
ServerBIOS2 test error: Cannot write to extended DMA (Direct Memory Access) registers.
02F6:  Software NMI Failed
ServerBIOS2 test error: Cannot generate software NMI (Non-Maskable Interrupt).
02F7:  Fail - Safe Timer NMI Failed
ServerBIOS2 test error: Fail-Safe Timer takes too long. 
						

							37
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 ????.

Press   F9   in the Setup Utility ( page 28).  This will restore the Setup Utility's
settings to their default values (except the password settings).  Then, the Setup Utility
must be run once again for you to input the appropriate operating environment set-
tings.   (The processing speed depends on the application software used, so this
operation may not cause the processing speed to increase.)
You can set the date and time through [Control Panel] - [Date, Time, Language,
and Regional Options] - [Date and Time].
  When the computer is connected to a LAN, confirm the date and time of the server.
  If you continue to experience problems, the internal battery maintaining the clock
may need to be replaced.  Contact Panasonic Technical Support.
This computer will not correctly recognize the date and time starting from the year
2100 A.D.
Restart the computer by using the keyboard (e.g.,   Ctrl   +   Esc   ,      or      ).
When the port replicator is not connected, turn off the computer.
Even when a password has been set in the Setup Utility, [Enter Password] does
not appear when the computer resumes from the standby or hibernation mode.
If you want to use the security function when using the standby or hibernation
mode, use the Windows password as follows:
Select the account to change in [Control Panel] - [User Accounts] and set the
password, then add the check mark for [Prompt for password when computer re-
sumes from standby] in [Control Panel] - [Performance and Maintenance] - [Power
Options] - [Advanced].
Press the MENU button of the wireless display, then set the password ( Operat-
ing Instructions of the wireless display).
A problem possibly occurred during startup.
After powering off the computer, connect the port replicator and restart the computer.
If you have created a password reset disk (  “First-time Operation”), a mes-
sage is displayed when you fail to correctly enter the password. Follow the message’s
instructions and set the password again by using the password reset disk.
If you have not created a password reset disk, after reinstalling, setup Windows and
then set the password again.
Press   F9   in the Setup Utility ( page 28).  This will restore the Setup Utility's
settings to their default values (except the password settings).
