Phoenix BIOS Error Code Messages

The following are the list of messages that Phoenix BIOs can display. Most of them occur during POST. Some of them display information about a hardware device, e.g., and the amount of memory installed. Others may indicate a porblem with a device, such as the way it has been configured. The following lists the explanation of the messages and remedies for reported problems.

Intermittent Problems

Intermittent system hang problems can be caused by a variety of reasons that have nothing to do with a hardware defect, such as: cosmic radiation, electrostatic discharge, or software errors. FRU replacement should be considered only when a recurring problem exists.

When analyzing an intermittent problem, do the following:

Run the advanced diagnostic test for the main board in loop mode at least 10 times.

If no error is detected, do not replace any FRU.

If any error is detected, replace the FRU. Rerun the test to verify that there are no more errors.

Undetermined Problems

The diagnostic problems does not identify which adapter or device failed, which installed devices are incorrect, whether a short circuit is suspected, or whether the system is inoperative.

Follow these procedures to isolate the failing FRU (do not isolate non-defective FRU).

NOTE:

Verify that all attached devices are supported by the computer.

Power-off the computer.

Visually check them for damage. If any problems are found, replace the FRU.

Remove or disconnect all of the following devices:

Other companies’ devices

Printer, mouse, and other external devices

Battery pack

Hard disk drive

DIMM

CD-ROM/Floppy diskette drive Module

PC Cards

Power-on the computer.

Determine if the problem has changed.

If the problem does not recur, reconnect the removed devices one at a time until you find the failing FRU.

If the problem remains, replace the following FRU one at a time. Do not replace a non-defective FRU:
