Diagnostic programs and error
messages
The server diagnostic programs are stored in upgradable
read-only memory (ROM) on the system board. These
programs are the primary method of testing the major
components of your server.
Diagnostic error messages indicate that a problem exists;
they are not intended to be used to identify a failing part.
Sometimes the first error to occur causes additional errors.
In this case, the server displays more than one error
message. Always follow the suggested action instructions
for the
first error message that appears.
The following sections contain the error codes that might
appear in the detailed test log and summary log when
running the diagnostic programs.
The error code format is as follows:
fff-ttt-iii-date-cc-text message
where:
fff is the three-digit function code that indicates the
function being tested when the error occurred.
For example, function code 089 is for the
microprocessor.
ttt is the three-digit failure code that indicates the
exact test failure that was encountered.
iii is the three-digit device ID. .
date is the date that the diagnostic test was run and
the error recorded.
cc is the check digit that is used to verify the validity
of the information.
text message
is the diagnostic message that indicates the
reason for the problem.
Text messages
The diagnostic text message format is as follows:
Function Name: Result (test specific string)
where:
Function Name
is the name of the function being tested when
the error occurred. This corresponds to the
function code (fff) given in the previous list.
