Hello,
It could be below warning. However I'm not sure because I could find those pattern for R210. For R200 I don't have an enough documents. It is quite old.
BIOS Checksum Failure
Corruption of the BIOS has been detected and system is in recovery mode"
Please check that all RAM, expansion cards, and cables are properly seated and connected. Sometimes, a simple reseating can solve the issue.
And you can Clear NVRAM after a BIOS update, clearing the CMOS settings can resolve POST errors.
reference pg 122 https://dell.to/3YZVNRW
Hope that helps!

Hi Peter,
It seems that when updating the R200's BIOS, the BIOS default settings were loaded.
Just to clarify before we move on, may i know if you are running RAID in your system?
Another infomation I needed is that any of the on-board SATA are connected to any hardware?
SATA0-3.

Hi Peter,
If there is no RAID, and all HDD are connected to your motherboard, please make sure which SATA connection is used for your HDD and DVDROM
After locating which of the SATA ports not used, please proceed to F2 BIOS settings to switch off the non used SATA PORT.
Let me know if you still have the halted screen.

Hi Peter,
I have escalated to my other teams to find out if IronPort BIOS is downloadable from Dell website or from Cisco.
Just to check on your side, does Cisco vendor release any BIOS downloads for you?
Do you have an order # for this R200, please do email me the order #.
I did find a downloadable OEM Dell R200 BIOS, but did not mention if it's for IronPort.
And about the settings in BIOS.
It's not in SATA Settings RAID set to "OFF".
You might need to check SATA Configurations > Port X > (set the Port to off on which SATA PORT is not connected to any SATA hardware)

Hi Joel,
Cisca say $70 x 4 hours without guarantee.
Service Tag: [ADMIN NOTE: Service Tag removed per privacy policy].
Now use the IronPort BIOS. After little time go new test&experiments. ))

Hi Peter,
Just to check if you still have halts on the startup?
Have you check on the settings of the SATA PORTS?
