Note: The system maintains the test-log data while the system is powered on. When you turn off the power to the server, the test log is cleared. 6. When you have completed the diagnostics procedure, remove the diagnostic diskette from the diskette drive before restarting the server. If the hardware checks out OK but the problem persists during normal server operations, a software error might be the cause. If you suspect a software problem, refer to the information that comes with the software package. Diagnostic error message tables For descriptions of the error messages that might appear when you run the diagnostic programs, see "Diagnostic error codes" on page 80. Notes: 1. Depending on the configuration, some of the error messages might not appear when you run the diagnostic programs. 2. If diagnostic error messages appear that are not listed in the tables, make sure that the server has the latest level of BIOS code installed. Error charts You can use the error charts to find solutions to problems that have definite symptoms (see "Error symptoms" on page 84). Important: If diagnostic error messages are displayed that are not listed, make sure that the system has the latest levels of BIOS code installed. Small computer system interface (SCSI) messages (some models) If the server has an Ultra320 SCSI adapter and you receive a SCSI error message, see "SCSI error codes" on page 96. Note: If the server does not have a SCSI hard disk drive, ignore any message that indicates that the BIOS code is not installed. Chapter 3. Diagnostics 23

have
completed
the
diagnostics
procedure,
remove
the
diagnostic
diskette
from
the
diskette
drive
before
restarting
the
server.
If
the
hardware
checks
out
OK
but
the
problem
persists
during
normal
server
operations,
a
software
error
might
be
the
cause.
If
you
suspect
a
software
problem,
refer
to
the
information
that
comes
with
the
software
package.
Diagnostic
error
message
tables
For
descriptions
of
the
error
messages
that
might
appear
when
you
run
the
diagnostic
programs,
see
“Diagnostic
error
codes”
on
page
80.
Notes:
1.
Depending
on
the
configuration,
some
of
the
error
messages
might
not
appear
when
you
run
the
diagnostic
programs.
2.
If
diagnostic
error
messages
appear
that
are
not
listed
in
the
tables,
make
sure
that
the
server
has
the
latest
level
of
BIOS
code
installed.
Error
charts
You
can
use
the
error
charts
to
find
solutions
to
problems
that
have
definite
symptoms
(see
“Error
symptoms”
on
page
84).
Important:
If
diagnostic
error
messages
are
displayed
that
are
not
listed,
make
sure
that

system
has
the
latest
levels
of
BIOS
code
installed.
Small

the
server
has
an
Ultra320
SCSI
adapter
and
you
receive
a
SCSI
error
message,
