Diagnostic programs and error messages The server diagnostic programs are stored in upgradable read-only memory (ROM) on the system board. These programs are the primary method of testing the major components of the server. Diagnostic 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 that are indicated by error messages should be performed by trained service personnel. Sometimes the first error to occur causes additional errors. In this case, the server displays more than one error message. Always follow the suggested action instructions for the first error message that appears. The following sections contain the error codes that might appear in the detailed test log and summary log when running the diagnostic programs. The error code format is as follows: fff-ttt-iii-date-cc-text message where: fff is the three-digit function code that indicates the function being tested when the error occurred. For example, function code 089 is for the microprocessor. ttt is the three-digit failure code that indicates the exact test failure that was encountered. iii is the three-digit device ID. date is the date that the diagnostic test was run and the error recorded. cc is the check digit that is used to verify the validity of the information. text message is the diagnostic message that indicates the reason for the problem. Text messages The diagnostic text message format is as follows: Function Name: Result (test specific string) where: Function Name is the name of the function being tested when the error occurred. This corresponds to the function code (fff) given in the previous list. Result can be one of the following: Passed This result occurs when the diagnostic test completes without any errors. 16 Netfinity 6000R Type 8682 Models 1RY, 2RY
