Note: See "System" on page 162 to determine which components should be replaced by a field service technician. Error code/symptom FRU/action I9990650 (AC power has been restored) 1. Check cable. 2. Check for interruption of power. 3. Power cable. Service processor error codes When viewed from POST, service processor error codes will appear in hexadecimal form (generally beginning with A2, A3, A4, A5, A6, A7, AD, AE, or E1). However, when viewed from the System Error Log, the messages will appear as text. To determine a possible error condition for the service processor, see the System Error Log (see "Viewing error logs from the diagnostic programs" on page 32). SCSI error codes Note: If a ServeRAID-5i controller is installed and later removed, you must re-enable the on-board SCSI controller in using the Configuration/Setup Utility program (see "Starting the Configuration/Setup Utility program" on page 15). Error code All SCSI Errors One or more of the following might be causing the problem: v A failing SCSI device (adapter, drive, controller) v An improper SCSI configuration or SCSI termination jumper setting v Duplicate SCSI IDs in the same SCSI chain v A missing or improperly installed SCSI terminator v A defective SCSI terminator v An improperly installed cable v A defective cable FRU/action 1. External SCSI devices must be turned on before you turn on the server. 2. Make sure that the cables for all external SCSI devices are connected correctly. 3. If you have attached an external SCSI device to the server, make sure the external SCSI termination is set to automatic. 4. Make sure that the last device in each SCSI chain is terminated correctly. 5. Make sure that the SCSI devices are configured correctly. Temperature error messages Note: See "System" on page 162 to determine which components should be replaced by a field service technician. Message Action DASD Over Temperature (level-critical; direct access storage device bay x was over temperature) v Ensure that the system is being properly cooled; see "System reliability considerations" on page 45. DASD Over recommended Temperature (sensor x) (level-warning; DASD bay x had over temperature condition) v Ensure that the system is being properly cooled; see "System reliability considerations" on page 45.
