Power on failure after - need assistance on Siemends Arcadis Orbic
RE: Mobile C-Arm Report Post
Hi Alan
I did not get a notification to your post.
When the BIOS Battery dies the Bios can be partially corrupted or set completely to factory (Fujitus) defaults.
Just to be sure, if the PC starts then shutsdown, the BIOS remote setting is wrong or there is a problem with plug to CIPP board/M50, this is the remote input 'power-on/power-off' command input. However, the easiest way to reset BIOS is to load the BIOS disk that comes with system (assuming you have one). Loading BIOS must be done EXACTLY as described in docs.
In the absense of a bios disk, you could search for the BIOS remote power setting so PC remains on allowing further investigation.
If you get erro 70 with nothing on the reference monitor would suggest its a M460 PC?
If any of the Graphic card DVI/DP connectors are disconnected when powered-on or powered-on without DVI in the Graphics card is auto reconfigured for single monitor operation. Once the BIOS is sorted you can farely quickly resolve the second monitor issue.
With Both monitors working & DVI connected, go into setting Can yo confirm which PC (give me the model/part number as its important) you have and what operating system VC10A or VB13C, better still look for BIOS disk. You may have M450, M460, M470, M470-2 etc. I think it will be M460,but check. Tom

Tom,
Thanks as always! I'll get exact name/model when I go to the site tomorrow but I just wanted to clarify a bit the problem:
1. Hit power on button on monitor cart
2. Main PS turns on, then CPU PS turns on (whirr of fan),
3. Total of approximately 5-7 seconds entire monitor cart, CPU & trolley shut off. CPU doesn't even get to the logo screen because not enough time has elapsed
I will go out to the site and try bios setting change/bios reload as you mentioned above if you think that's the best step.
As alway, thanks again for your wisdom.

Hi
If loading the bios fails, on the pc motherboard is a reset/delete bios link, you could try that if reloading bios does not help.
Also, just check the ps2 plug is in correct socket (green). This ps2 supplies 5v for the m50 power assembly.
Also , just double check the usb etc are correctly connected, compare with pc label.
Just another small thing, if you have the original bios disk then ok. If you have the new version bios disk with manager, make sure the floppy disk option is disabled before loading bios.
The Fujitsu bios default settings enable the floppy disk drive even though the floppy disk drive is not installed

Tom,
I adjusted the settings on the BIOS - changed the wake on LAN configuration and it works PERFECTLY now.
Thank you so very much.
I like to avoid installing the original BIOS because it's so much easier than having to look up the BIOS password for each system each time.
As always, you have been immensely helpful.
Thanks,
Alan
