Description
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 programs. If the setting is not correct,
change it. For information about using the Configuration/Setup utility programs, see
“Using the Configuration/Setup Utility” on page 22.
If the problem persists, have the system serviced.

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
server, verify that the serial cable is connected correctly. If it is, use the following
procedure:
1. Turn off the server.
2. Disconnect the serial cable from the serial port.
3. Wait five seconds; then, turn on the 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, have the system serviced.

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. (See “The Configuration/Setup Utility” on page 21.)
2. If all interrupts are being used by 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. For information about removing adapters, see
“Installing or Removing Adapters” on page 50. For information about setting
interrupts, see “The Configuration/Setup Utility.”

POST is unable to communicate with the system-management processor.
Action:
1. If the Service Processor Error LED (CR49) on the system board is on, have
your system serviced. (See “System Board LEDs” on page 168 for the location
of the LED.)
2. If the Service Processor Error LED is not on, disconnect the Netfinity 5000
server from all electrical sources, wait for 30 seconds, reconnect the Netfinity
5000 server to the electrical sources, and restart the Netfinity 5000 server.
If the problem persists, have the system serviced.

The Advanced System Management controller BIOS needs to be updated.
Action:
1. Disconnect the server from all electrical sources, wait for 30 seconds, reconnect
the server to the electrical sources, and restart the server.
2. If the problem persists, update the Advanced System Management controller
BIOS. Refer to the “Getting Help Information” section of this
Server Library for
information about obtaining updates.

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 programs. If the interrupt resource settings are not
correct, change the settings. See “PCI Bus Control” on page 29.
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. For information about removing adapters, see
“Installing or Removing Adapters” on page 50. For information about setting
interrupts, see see “PCI Bus Control” on page 29.
