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.
