Option Diskettes
An optional device or adapter might come with a diskette that
contains option-specific test programs. If it does, follow the
instructions that come with the option. Different instructions apply
depending on whether the Option Diskette is startable or not
startable.
Error Messages
Error messages indicate that a problem exists; they are not intended
to be used to identify a failing part. Troubleshooting and servicing
of complex problems indicated by these error messages should be
performed by a trained service technician.
Types of Messages
System problems can result in two types of error messages:
Ÿ POST error messages appear when, during startup, POST finds
problems with the hardware or detects a change in the
hardware configuration.
Ÿ Diagnostic error messages appear when the diagnostic program
finds a problem with hardware.
Messages generated by your software generally are text messages,
but they also can be numeric. Information about these messages is
not included in this handbook. For information about these error
messages, refer to the documentation that comes with your
software.
Multiple Messages
Sometimes the first error to occur causes additional errors. In this
case, the system displays more than one error message. Always
follow the suggested action instructions for the first error message
that appears.
