Ethernet controller messages
Ethernet controller messages
Note: The error messages shown in this section are available only
with the integrated Ethernet controller. These error messages
are not available when remote program load (RPL) or
dynamic host configuration protocol (DHCP) is used through
optional network adapters.
If a failure condition occurs after the Ethernet controller is
initialized, an error message appears on the screen. The error
messages that can occur are shown in the following sections. If you
experience any error related to the integrated Ethernet controller,
record the error message, and tell your network administrator about
the problem.
The two most common error messages are:
RPL-ROM-ERR: 1ð5 The integrated Ethernet failed the loopback test.
RPL-ROM-ERR: 1ð7 The media test failed.
Error 105 indicates that a power-on diagnostic test performed by the
Ethernet module did not execute correctly. If this error message
appears, you must have the server serviced. Error 107 indicates that
the cable from the LAN is not securely connected to the Ethernet
port on your server. Check the cable to ensure that it is properly
connected.
Other error messages that might occur are shown in Table 11 on
page 197.
Note: An x value that follows an error code represents any
alphanumeric character.
