Troubleshooting
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. 
						

							27
Troubleshooting
*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 termi-
nate 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.
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. 
						

							28
Troubleshooting
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 ????.

This will restore the Setup Utilitys settings to their default
values (except the password settings).  Then, the Setup Util-
ity must be run once again for you to input the appropriate
