F POST Error Messages Smart Array controllers produce diagnostic error messages at reboot. Many of these Power-On-Test (POST) messages are self-explanatory and suggest corrective actions for troubleshooting. Detailed information about these messages is given in Table F-1. Table F-1: POST Error Messages Message 1702 1711 1712 1713 Description SCSI cable error detected. System halted. Slot x drive array - RAID ADG logical drives present but cache size is less than or equal to 32 MB. Slot x drive array - RAID 5 logical drives present with 56 drives or more, but cache size is less than or equal to 32 MB. Slot x drive array - Redundant ROM reprogramming failure. Meaning and Recommended Action There is a termination or cabling problem with the system board integrated SCSI controller. See the cabling information in this guide. This configuration is not recommended. Migrate the logical drive (or drives) to RAID 5 or upgrade the array accelerator cache module. This configuration is not recommended. Migrate the logical drive (or drives) to RAID 0 or 1, reduce the number of drives in the array, or upgrade the array accelerator cache module. Replace the controller if this error persists after restarting the system. continued Compaq Smart Array 5i Plus Controller and Battery Backed Write Cache Enabler User Guide F-1
