If a failure condition occurs after the Ethernet controller is initialized, an error message appears on the screen. The error messages that can occur are shown below. If you experience any error related to the Ethernet adapter, record the error message, and tell your network administrator about the problem. RPL-related error messages These error messages are specific to the Ethernet adapter and the RPL environment of your computer. The two most common error messages are shown below. RPL-ROM-ERR: 105 The integrated Ethernet failed the loopback test. RPL-ROM-ERR: 107 Media test failed; check the cable. 76 User Guide

Ethernet error messages
The error messages listed in this section apply only to models with a
preinstalled Ethernet adapter or riser card.
If a failure condition occurs after the Ethernet controller is initialized, an error
message appears on the screen. The error messages that can occur are shown
below. If you experience any error related to the Ethernet adapter, record the
error message, and tell your network administrator about the problem.
RPL-related error messages
These error messages are specific to the Ethernet adapter and the RPL
environment of your computer.
The two most common error messages are shown below.
RPL-ROM-ERR:
105
The integrated Ethernet failed the loopback test.
RPL-ROM-ERR:
107
Media test failed; check the cable.
