Appendix B: EEPROM-Resident Bugcheck and Event Logs
B-2 Quantum DLT 4000 Tape System
The most important information within the packet is the error code. The more
common bugcheck codes are listed in Table B—1. A full listing of all possible
codes is not provided: they are typically associated with firmware or product
development and are not expected once the product is released. Analysis of the
other information saved within an EEPROM bugcheck packet requires the in-
depth firmware knowledge to interpret and/or attempt to determine the actual
cause.

B.2.1 POST Failure Packets
POST failure packets are stored whenever the Power On Self Test logic detects a
failure of any kind. Each failure is encoded as a 4-byte vector. In some cases,
multiple vectors may be stored.
If logging of POST failures occurs, contact a service representative.
