cc is the check value 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) shown in the error code format in the previous section. Result can be one of the following: Passed This result occurs when the diagnostic test is completed without any errors. Failed This result occurs when the diagnostic test discovers an error. User Aborted This result occurs when you stop the diagnostic test before it is complete. Not Applicable This result occurs when you specify a diagnostic test for a device that is not present. Aborted This result occurs when the test could not proceed, for example, because of the system configuration. Warning This result occurs when a possible problem is reported during the diagnostic test, such as when a device driver is not found. test specific string is additional information that you can use to analyze the problem. Starting the diagnostic programs The IBM Enhanced Diagnostics programs will isolate your server hardware from software that you have installed on your hard disk drive. The programs run independently of the operating system, and must be run either from the CD or diskette. This method of testing is generally used when other methods are not accessible or have not been successful in isolating a problem suspected to be hardware related. An IBM Enhanced Diagnostics CD comes with the server. You can also download the latest image of the diagnostics from the World Wide Web at http://www.ibm.com/pc/support. Note: When using diagnostics with a USB Keyboard and Mouse attached, go into Setup and enable USB emulation. 1. Press F1 Config/Setup 2.
