Interrupt status port register (ISPR) error procedures
Use interrupt status port register (ISPR) error procedures to help you solve
ServeRAID problems. A complete list of error codes is listed in “ServeRAID error
codes” on page 59.
EF10 (Default ISPR)
1. There is no ISPR error.
9zxx through Bzxx (SCSI bus error caused by cables, termination, defective
drives, or a similar problem)
1. Isolate between the SCSI subsystem and the controller by disconnecting all
SCSI cables from the suspected adapter, and restart the computer.
Attention: Do not press F5. Doing so changes the computer configuration.
If an ISPR error remains, complete the following steps until the error is
corrected:
a. Reseat the controller.
b. Replace the controller.
Note: If the adapter or controller detects a configuration change. Do not select
Save Changes . Instead, press F10 to bypass any options to this effect.
2. If the ISPR error is EF10 after the cables are disconnect, complete the following
steps:
a. Identify which channel is causing the error according to the second digit (z)
of the original ISPR code as indicated in the following table.
Note: ServeRAID-8i controllers have no channels. A ServeRAID-8i
controller uses the channel connectors of the integrated SCSI controller.
