Diagnostic programs and error messages The system diagnostic programs are stored on the Device Driver and IBM Enhanced Diagnostics CD. These programs are the primary method of testing the major components of your computer. Diagnostic error messages indicate that a problem exists; they are not intended to be used to identify a failing part. Troubleshooting and servicing 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 computer 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 be displayed 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 201 is for memory. ttt is the three-digit failure code for the exact test failure. (These codes are for trained service personnel and are described in the Hardware Maintenance Manual.) iii is the three-digit device ID. (These codes are for trained service personnel and are described in the Hardware Maintenance Manual.) date is the date that the diagnostic test was run and the error recorded. cc are the check digits that are 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. Failed This result occurs when the diagnostic test discovers an error. 86 IBM IntelliStation E Pro Types 6204 and 6214: User's Guide

Diagnostic programs and error messages
The system diagnostic programs are stored on the
Device Driver and IBM
Enhanced Diagnostics
CD. These programs are the primary method of testing the
major components of your computer.
Diagnostic error messages indicate that a problem exists; they are not intended to
be used to identify a failing part. Troubleshooting and servicing 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
computer 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 be displayed 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 201 is for memory.
ttt
is the three-digit failure code for the exact test failure. (These codes are for
trained service personnel and are described in the
Hardware Maintenance
Manual
.)
iii
is the three-digit device ID. (These codes are for trained service personnel
and are described in the
Hardware Maintenance Manual
.)
date
is the date that the diagnostic test was run and the error recorded.
cc
are the check digits that are 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.
Failed
This result occurs when the diagnostic test discovers an error.
