SCSI Error Messages and Codes

As part of the power-on sequence, the SCSI PCBA performs diagnostics on itself to
verify proper operation. If it detects a failure during these power up diagnostics, it
will display one of the error messages in Table 5-4.

ERROR DISPLAY

DEFINITION

DMA CHIP FAILURE

The DMA device on the SCSI PCBA has failed.

SCSI CHIP FAILED

The SCSI Controller device on the SCSI PCBA has failed.

BUFFER FAILURE

A memory error in the 1-megabyte buffer has been detected.

RAM FAILURE

A memory error in the RAM device has been detected.

MPU FAILURE

An error in the SCSI PCBA microprocessor device has been detected

CHECKSUM ERROR

Incorrect ROM checksum was returned.
