Chapter 7. Solving problems
91
962 A parallel port configuration error occurred.
Action: If you changed a hardware option, make sure that the parallel port setting is correct in
the Configuration/Setup Utility program. If the setting is not correct, change it.
If the problem persists, call for service.
11 xx An error occurred during the system-board serial port test.
Action: If you have a modem, serial printer, or other serial device attached to your appliance
server, verify that the serial cable is connected correctly. If it is, use the following
procedure:
1. Turn off the appliance server.
2. Disconnect the serial cable from the serial port.
3. Wait five seconds; then, turn on the appliance server.
If the POST error message does not reappear, either the serial cable or the device is probably
failing. See the documentation that comes with the serial device for additional testing information.
If the POST error message reappears, call for service.
1162 The serial port configuration conflicts with another device in the system.
Action: 1. Make sure the IRQ and I/O port assignments needed by the serial port are
available.
2. If all interrupts are being used by adapters, you might need to remove an adapter to
make an interrupt available to the serial port, or force other adapters to share an
interrupt.
1601 An Advanced Systems Management update is needed.
Action: Download and install the latest Advanced Systems Management flash update.
1800 A PCI adapter has requested a hardware interrupt that is not available.
Action: 1. Make sure that the PCI adapter and all other adapters are set correctly in the
Configuration/Setup Utility program. If the interrupt resource settings are not correct,
change the settings.
2. If all interrupts are being used by other adapters, you might need to remove an
adapter to make an interrupt available to the PCI adapter, or force other adapters to
share an interrupt.
