List Of Error Codes - Panasonic Toughbook CF-71 Series Operating Instructions Manual

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 prob-
lem 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
0210 Stuck key
0211 Keyboard error
0212 Keyboard Controller Failed
0213 Keyboard locked - Unlock key switch
0220 Monitor type does not match CMOS - Run SETUP
0230 Shadow RAM Failed at offset : nnnn
0231 System RAM Failed at offset : nnnn
0232 Extended RAM Failed at offset : nnnn
0250 System battery is dead - Replace and run SETUP
0251* System CMOS checksum bad - Default configuration used
0260 System timer error
0270 Real time clock error
0280* Previous boot incomplete - Default configuration used
0281 Memory Size found by POST differed from CMOS
02B0 Diskette drive A error
02B1 Diskette drive B error
02B2 Incorrect Drive A type - run SETUP
02B3 Incorrect Drive B type - run SETUP
02D0 System cache error - Cache disabled
02F0: CPU ID:
02F4: EISA CMOS not writable
20
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.
Stuck key on keyboard.
Keyboard not working.
Keyboard controller failed test. May require replacing keyboard controller.
Unlock the system to proceed.
Monitor type not correctly identified in Setup.
Shadow RAM failed at offset nnnn of the 64k block at which the error was detected.
System RAM failed at offset nnnn of in the 64k block at which the error was detected.
Extended memory not working or not configured properly at offset nnnn.
The CMOS clock battery indicator shows the battery is dead. Replace the battery and run Setup to reconfigure the system.
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.
The timer test failed. Requires repair of system board.
Real-time clock fails BIOS test. May require board repair.
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.
Memory size found by POST differed from CMOS.
Drive A: or B: is present but fails the BIOS POST diskette tests. Check to see that the drive is defined with the proper diskette type
in Setup and that the diskette drive is attached correctly.
Type of floppy drive A: not correctly identified in Setup.
Type of floppy drive B: not correctly identified in Setup.
RAM cache failed and BIOS disabled the cache. On older boards, check the cache jumpers. You may have to replace the cache.
See Panasonic Technical Support. A disabled cache slows system performance considerably.
CPU socket number for Multi-Processor error.
ServerBIOS2 test error: Cannot write to EISA CMOS.
