Description
8601
8602
8603
A failure occurred during testing of the pointing device
(mouse) and pointing-device controller.
Note: An 8603 error can be caused by the addition or
removal of a mouse.
This error can be caused by the pointing device or by a failing
system board.
This error also can occur if electrical power was lost for a very
brief period and then restored. In this case, turn off the
server for at least 5 seconds, and then turn it back on.
Action: Ensure that the keyboard and pointing device are
attached to the correct connectors. If they are
connected correctly, use the following procedure:
1. Turn off the server.
2. Disconnect the pointing device from the server.
3. Turn on the server.
If the POST error message does not reappear, the pointing
device is probably failing. (See the documentation that comes
with the pointing device for additional testing information.)
If the problem remains, have the pointing device serviced.
If the POST error message reappears, run the diagnostic tests
to isolate the failure. If the diagnostic tests do not find a
problem and the POST error message remains, have the
system serviced.
I

Action: Have the system serviced.
I
9990305
An operating system could not be found.
Action: Run diagnostic tests to verify that the hard disk is
functioning correctly. If there is a problem with the
hard disk drive (such as a bad sector), you might have
to reinstall the operating system.
If you cannot reinstall the operating system, have the
system serviced.
Other Numbers
