Audible Beeps: None Possible Cause: The backup system ROM is corrupted. The primary ROM is valid. Action: Run ROMPaq Utility to flash the system so that the primary and backup ROMs are valid. REDUNDANT ROM ERROR: Bootblock Invalid. - ... ...contact HP Representative. Audible Beeps: None Possible Cause: ROM bootblock is corrupt. Action: Contact an authorized service provider. REDUNDANT ROM ERROR: Primary ROM invalid. Booting Backup ROM. -... ...run ROMPAQ to correct error condition Audible Beeps: None Possible Cause: The primary system ROM is corrupt. The system is booting from the redundant ROM. Action: Run ROMPaq Utility to restore the system ROM to the correct version. Temperature violation detected - system Shutting Down in x seconds Audible Beeps: 1 long, 1 short Possible Cause: The system has reached a cautionary temperature level and is shutting down in X seconds. Action: Adjust the ambient temperature, install fans, or replace any failed fans. There must be a first DIMM in pair if second DIMM in pair is populated. Second DIMM in pair ignored. Description: The first DIMM socket in the pair is not populated. The second DIMM in the pair is not recognized or used. Action: Populate the DIMM socket. This DIMM does not support thermal monitoring... A less efficient cooling solution with fans running at higher speeds will be utilized to allow the system to operate with this DIMM installed. Audible Beeps: None Possible Cause: Unsupported DIMMs are installed that do not contain a temperature sensor. All supported DIMMs for this platform include internal temperature sensors. Action: See the server documentation for supported DIMMs. Install only DIMMs supported by the server. Error messages 121
