Description
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.
0220 Monitor type does not match CMOS - Run SETUP
Monitor type not correctly identified in Setup
0230 Shadow Ram Failed at offset:
nnnn
Shadow RAM failed at offset nnnn of the 64k block at which the error was detected.
0231 System RAM Failed at offset:
nnnn
System RAM failed at offset nnnn of in 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. Connect the ac adapter for at
least 24 hours, replace the motherboard.
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. Connect the ac adapter for at least 24 hours, replace the motherboard.
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. This error is cleared the next time the system is booted.
0281 Memory Size found by POST differed from CMOS
Memory size found by POST differed from CMOS.
02B0 Diskette drive A error
02B1 Diskette drive B error
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.
02B2 Incorrect Drive A type - run SETUP
Type of floppy drive A: not correctly identified in Setup.
02B3 Incorrect Drive B type - run SETUP
Type of floppy drive B: not correctly identified in Setup.
02D0 System cache error - Cache disabled
RAM cache failed and BIOS disabled the cache. On older boards, check the cache jumpers.
You may have to replace the cache. See your dealer. A disabled cache slows system
performance considerably.
02F0: CPU ID:
CPU socket number for Multi-Processor error.
02F4: EISA CMOS not writeable
