IBM 8835 - Eserver 325 - 1 GB RAM, Maintenance And Troubleshooting Manual

Page: 29 / 164

Note: The system maintains the test-log data while the system is powered on.
When you turn off the power to the server, the test log is cleared.
6. When you have completed the diagnostics procedure, remove the diagnostic
diskette from the diskette drive before restarting the server.
If the hardware checks out OK but the problem persists during normal server
operations, a software error might be the cause. If you suspect a software problem,
refer to the information that comes with the software package.
Diagnostic error message tables
For descriptions of the error messages that might appear when you run the
diagnostic programs, see “Diagnostic error codes” on page 76.
Notes:
1. Depending on the configuration, some of the error messages might not appear
when you run the diagnostic programs.
2. If diagnostic error messages appear that are not listed in the tables, make sure
that the server has the latest level of BIOS code installed.
Error charts
You can use the error charts to find solutions to problems that have definite
symptoms (see “Error symptoms” on page 78).
Important: If diagnostic error messages are displayed that are not listed, make
sure that the system has the latest levels of BIOS code installed.
Small computer system interface (SCSI) messages (some models)
If the server has an Ultra320 SCSI adapter and you receive a SCSI error message,
see “SCSI error codes” on page 90.
Note: If the server does not have a SCSI hard disk drive, ignore any message that
indicates that the BIOS code is not installed.
