LCD Status Messages
The system's control panel LCD provides status messages to signify when the system is operating
correctly or when the system needs attention. The LCD lights blue to indicate a normal operating
condition and lights amber to indicate an error condition. The LCD scrolls a message that includes a
status code followed by descriptive text.
Table 1-6 lists the LCD status messages that can occur and the probable cause for each message. The
LCD messages refer to events recorded in the system event log (SEL). For information on the SEL and
configuring system management settings, see the systems management software documentation.
CAUTION:
Only trained service technicians are authorized to remove the system cover and access any of the
components inside the system. See your
Product Information Guide
for complete information about safety
precautions, working inside the computer, and protecting against electrostatic discharge.
NOTE:
If your system fails to boot, press the System ID button for at least five seconds until an error code appears
on the LCD. Record the code, then see
"Getting Help" on page 147
