Description
229
An error was detected in the L2 cache of one of the microprocessors.
Action:
1. If you just installed a microprocessor, verify that the microprocessor is installed
and seated correctly.
2. If the problem persists, check to see if the system has isolated the problem to a
microprocessor:
If the System Error LED on the information LED panel is on, check the
Microprocessor Error LEDs next to the microprocessor sockets on the
system board (see “System Board LEDs” on page 168).
– If a Microprocessor LED is on, run the diagnostic program for the
microprocessor indicated by the LED. If the tests fail, replace the
microprocessor.
– If the microprocessor tests do not fail, have the system serviced.
If no error LED is on, the error logs in the Configuration/Setup Utility
program might provide additional information on the microprocessor error.
If the problem persists, have the system serviced.
289
An error occurred during POST memory tests and a failing DIMM was disabled.
Note: The Netfinity 5000 server can be used with decreased memory.
Action:
1. If you just installed memory, see “Installing or Removing Memory Modules” on
page 54 to verify that the new memory is correct for your server. Verify that the
memory modules are installed and seated correctly. Start the
Configuration/Setup Utility program (see “The Configuration/Setup Utility” on
page 21). In the Advanced Setup menu, select Memory Settings and enable
the DIMM. (See “Advanced Setup” on page 28.)
2. If the problem persists, try the DIMM in a different memory socket. If the error
occurs in the new location, the DIMM is faulty; replace the failing DIMM.
Otherwise, have the system serviced.

303
An error occurred during the keyboard and keyboard controller test. These error
messages also might be accompanied by continuous beeping.
Action: Ensure that:
1. Nothing is resting on the keyboard and pressing a key.
2. No key is stuck.
3. The keyboard cable is connected correctly to the keyboard and to the correct
connector on the server.
Running the diagnostic tests can isolate the server component that failed, but you
must have your system serviced. If the error message remains, have the keyboard,
cable, and system serviced.
Note: If you have just connected a new mouse or other pointing device, turn off
the server and disconnect that device. Wait at least five seconds, and then,
turn on the server. If the error message goes away, replace the device.
604
An error occurred during a diskette drive test.
Action:
1. Verify that the Configuration/Setup utility programs correctly reflect the type of
diskette drive that you have installed.
2. Run the diagnostic tests. If the diagnostic tests fail, have the system serviced.
662
A diskette drive configuration error occurred.
Action: If you removed a diskette drive, make sure that the diskette drive setting is
correct in the Configuration/Setup utility programs. If the setting is not correct,
change it. For information about using the Configuration/Setup utility programs, see
“Using the Configuration/Setup Utility” on page 22.
If the problem persists, have the system serviced.
