5 Power-On Self Test (Boot Check)
Outline of POST
The set has a boot check function called POST (Power-On Self Test) in it.
Th e condition of the main body is diagnosed by checking beep sound or error code.
Start
__ __ __ __ _...Tesl begins automatically when power switch is set to ON_
Normal finish .....After memory checking, a beep sound is issued once and the set is placed into automatic stop.
Note: If no error occurs, noth
in g is displayed. (No display of OK, etc.)
Error Diagnosis by Checking Beep Signal Sound
The beep sound is as follows:
(Length of bar shows length of so u nd_)
_ = long sound (about 0.4 sec.), • = shorl sound (about 0.2 sec.), Length between sounds is about 0.1 sec.

7 Self Diagnosis Test
As for the self-diagnosis test(PC-Diagnostic utility) to use this model, a standard test and the
enhancing test by the module ofthe main body building
in are possible.
• Notes To skip BIOS password
U se <Ctrl>+< F1 0> key to skip BI OS password orauthentication of fingerpri nt.
This key is only for entering DI AG mode. Not av ai lable to boot the computer.
If customer set "HOD Lock", the Dr AG program cannot perform HOD test.
*This
key is for service purpose only. Do not disclose this information to unrelated others.
1. Beginning of self-diagnosis test
1-1 . Setting of content of setup
1. The power supply of the computer is turned on.
2. " F 2" is pushed on the screen of "Panason ic" while" press <F2 to enter Setup> " is displayed.
3. The setup utility starts and then takes no tes of the content of the BIOS setup of present set.
4. " F 9" is pushed, " Yes" is selected on the screen of " Is the default value loaded? ", and" Enter"
is pushed.
5. " F1 0" is pushed.
6. "Yes" is selected on the screen of the setup confirmation, and" Enter" is pushed.
7. The computer starts au tomatically.
Attention
• If the device which can be set is set to "Invalidity" by "Advanced" or "Security" menu, becomes an
error by "PC-Diagnostic
ut ility".
(It isjudged that the device which can be set to "Invalidity" by "Main" menu such as "Flat pad" is
normal if the controller operates normally though sets to "Invalidity" by the setup. )
• In the model with built-in DV D of the USB connection, even if DVD is normal, becomes an error if
legacy USB is set to "Invalidity"
1-2. When you execute an automatic test
1. "Ctrl" + "F7" is pushed while the "Panasonic" start screen is displayed after the computer is started.
2. The test of all devices begins automatically by "PC-D ia gnostic utility'''s starting.
Attention
• It is a test which the customer who bought PC can execute. (As for H DD , the enhancing test is also
possible.)
• A flat pad does not work for a while after starting "PC-Diagnostic utility".
• The movement of a flat pad might become abnormal If after RAM begins from the CPU/System
test, a flat pad will be operated in about 30 seconds. In that case,restarts pushing"Alt" + "Ctrl" +
"Del" key. Or, please start "PC-Diagnostic utility" again after doing the power supply switch in the
slide, and turning off the power supply.
1-3. When you execute the enhancing test
1. Please let me discontinue diagnosing clicking end an automatic test.
2. Please click on the characterof "0 " "PC-Diagnostic utility" on the sc"een while pushing both of right
"Shift" and left "Shift" keys.
3. All devices which can select the enhancing test make the setting of the enhancing test possible.
4. The district device is made" FU LL" display (enhancing test).
5. The test begins clicking
*Please re f er to item 4 for the error result of each test an d the division of the breakdown part.
18

2. Operation of PC-Diagnostic Utility
-Only the device which can be inspected on the entire screen is displayed.
-The i
tem does not appear when the device of wireless LAN etc. is not physically connected.
-The movement ofthe item must use an
arrow key or a flat pad.
-As f or the device under the diagnosis, blue and yellow are alternately displayed at the left of the icon.
- The diagnosis result
of the device greens at the left of the icon when it is normal, and becomes red when
abnorma l.
-When the test of a ll devices ends, the test result is displayed under the ri ght of the screen.
-Please click
-Please cl ick
while diagnosi ng when being stop on the way by the time the test of all devices ends.
when you restart "PC -Diagnostic utility".
*Each device is t es ted from the beginning, and it is not possible to rest art on the way.
19

2·1 . Selection of tested device
-To test ot1y a specific device, 'Test" and "Do not test" of each device can be selected.
-The device which can select the enhancing test changes in order of 'The standard is tested" and "Do not
test' whenever the device icon is clicked.
Start the standard test Do not test
Please begin testing dicking if the selection of the tested device ends.
2-2. "PC-Diagnostic utility" End method
When 181 of "Close" on the right of the screen is clicked, the computer reactivates automaticall y. Or , the
power supply switch is done in the slide and the power supply is turned off.
2·3.The content of the setup is returned to the setting of the user
1. Turned on the computer.
2. "F2" is pushed on the screen while "Press<F2>to enter Setup" is disp la yed of "Panasonic".
3. Push "F10", and on the screen of "Is the change in the setling preserved and do end?"and then "Yes"
is se lected, and "Enter" is pushed.
4. The computer reactivates automatically.
5. The end option is chosen by the start menu, and the power supply of the computer is turned off.
Standard at testtime
All devices other than RAM and HOD -about 1 mi nu te
RAM standard test 1 - 2 minutes
HOD standard test ---------2 - 3 minutes
HOD enhancing test (60GB) about 40 minutes
EX.The standard when the standard < all device> is tested becomes 1+2+3=6 minutes.
• There is grea tl y a difference from RAM test when the memory is increased according to the perform-
ance ofthe memory occasionally.
• Moreover, when the main body of PC under the test is a high temperature, it occasionally takes time.
• There is greatly a difference from HOD according to the performance of the drive occasionall y.
