ServeRAID ISPR, BCS, and ECS POST error codes
After the ServeRAID POST completes, register information appears on the screen
in hexadecimal format, as follows:
Hardware: ISPR=aaaa BCS=bb ECS=cc
ISPR displays the four-digit Interrupt Status Report Register code, BCS displays the
Basic Configuration Status Register code, and ECS displays the Extended
Configuration Status Register code.
For example:
Controller 1 Slot 5, Status:Not responding properly - Error Code=0B0
Controller 2 Slot 4, Logical Drive=0, Other=0, Firmware=2.88.10, Status=Ok
Controller 3 Slot 3, Logical Drive=0, Other=0, Firmware=3.60.13, Status=Ok
Controller 4 Slot 2, Logical Drive=1, Other=1, Firmware=1.00.09, Status=Ok
If no errors occur:
ISPR (aaaa) = EF10
BCS (bb) = 0F or 09
ECS (cc) = 00
If an error occurs, refer to: “ISPR (Interrupt Status Port Register) codes” for the
ISPR error codes and “Basic and Extended Configuration Status Register Codes”
on page 132 for the BCS and ECS error codes.
