PS1 PS2 PS3 NON OVER NMI TEMP FAN MEM CPU PCI A PCI B VRM DASD1 DASD2 Light path diagnostics table The System Error LED on the operator information panel is lit when certain system errors occur. If the System Error LED on your server is lit, use the table in "Information panel system error LED" on page 128 to help determine the cause of the error and the action you should take. 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 your server. Diagnostic error messages indicate that a problem exists; they are not intended to be used to identify a failing part. 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. Diagnostics 15

table
The
System
Error
LED
on
the
operator
information
panel
is
lit
when
certain
system
errors
occur.
If
the
System
Error
LED
on
your
server
is
lit,
use
the
table
in
“Information
panel
system
error
LED”
on
page
128
to
help
determine
the
cause
of
the
error
and
the
action
you
should
take.
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
your
server.
Diagnostic
error
messages
indicate
that
a
problem
exists;
they
are
not
intended
to
be
used
to
identify
a
failing
part.
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.
