Table 19. CA000000 to CA2799FF checkpoints (continued)
v
If the system hangs on a progress code, follow the suggested actions in the order in which they are listed in
the Action column until the problem is solved. If an action solves the problem, you can stop performing the
remaining actions.
v See Chapter 3, “Parts listing, Type 7998,” on page 235 to determine which components are CRUs and which
components are FRUs.
Progress code Description Action
CA2799FF A firmware update module is being
written. This checkpoint alternates in the control panel
with CA2799FD.
This pair of checkpoints might stay in the
display for up to 30 minutes with no indication
of activity other than the alternating codes. Do
not assume that the system is hung until the
alternation stops and only one of the
checkpoints remains in the control panel for at
least 30 minutes, with no other indication of
activity.
If the system is hung on this checkpoint, then
CA2799FD and CA2799FF are not alternating
and you must perform the following
procedure:
1. Shut down the blade server.
2. Restart the blade server using the
permanent boot image, as described in
“Starting the PERM image” on page 222.
3. Use the Update and Manage System Flash
menu to reject the temporary image.
D1001xxx to D1xx3FFF Service processor dump codes
D1xx service processor dump status codes indicate the cage or node ID that the
dump component is processing, the node from which the hardware data is
collected, and a counter that increments each time that the dump processor stores
4K of dump data.
Service processor dump status codes use the format,
D1 yy 1 xxx
, where yy and xxx
can be any number or letter.
The
yy
part of the code indicates the cage or node ID that the dump component is
processing. The node varies depending on the node from which the hardware data
is collected. The node is 0xFF when collecting the mainstore memory data.
The
xxx
part of the code is a counter that increments each time that the dump
processor stores 4K of dump data.
Table 20 on page 132 lists the progress codes that might be displayed during the
power-on self-test (POST), along with suggested actions to take if the system hangs
on the progress code. Only when you experience a hang condition should you take
any of the actions described for a progress code.
