Causes and Fixes

  1. 1

    Navigate to Startup → Commissioning → 'System Data' to verify if boot files exist in the system.

  2. 2

    If boot files are not needed, simply acknowledge the alarm with RESET key and do not attempt to delete non-existent files.

  3. 3

    If boot files should exist but are missing, create new boot files using 'Create Boot Files' function in the startup menu.

    Creating boot files will capture current system configuration. Ensure machine is in proper state before proceeding.
