Error Messages Specific to the Integrated Ethernet
Note: The error messages shown in this section are available only with those
models that come with the integrated Ethernet subsystem. These error
messages are not available when RPL (remote program load) or DHCP
(dynamic host configuration protocol) is used through optional network
adapters.
An error message appears on the screen after the Ethernet controller is initialized
and a failure condition occurs. These error messages are shown below. If you
experience any error related to the integrated Ethernet subsystem, record the error
message, and notify your network administrator of the problem.
RPL-Related Error Messages
These error messages are specific to the integrated Ethernet controller and the RPL
environment of your computer.
The two most common error messages are shown below.
RPL-ROM-ERR: 1ð5 The Integrated Ethernet Failed the Loopback Test
RPL-ROM-ERR: 1ð7 Media Test Failed; Check the Cable
Error 105 indicates that a power-on diagnostic test performed by the Ethernet chip
did not execute correctly. If this error message appears, you must have the
computer serviced. Error 107 indicates that the cable from the LAN is not securely
connected to the Ethernet port on your computer.
13 Check the cable to ensure that it
is properly connected.
Other error messages that might occur are shown in the following table.
RPL-ROM-ERR: 101 Integrated Ethernet was unable to initialize
RPL-ROM-ERR: 102 Integrated Ethernet could not be reset
RPL-ROM-ERR: 100 The integrated Ethernet cannot be found
RPL-ROM-ERR: 103 There are multiple Ethernets in the system.
Please specify the correct serial number in NET.CFG.
RPL-ROM-ERR: 104 The integrated Ethernet EEPROM is faulty or not present
RPL-ROM-ERR: 106 The integrated Ethernet is configured for PnP on non-PnP system
RPL-ROM-ERR: 110 Integrated Ethernet RAM failed the memory test
13 If you have an integrated Ethernet model, and you start your computer without a proper, physical
network connection, the RPL-error 107 will always appear. Unless you have changed the primary
startup sequence, the computer loads the operating system from the hard disk drive. If you do not
use the integrated Ethernet, you can avoid this error message by disabling the integrated Ethernet.
