Software error symptoms Note: See "System replaceable units" on page 144 to determine which components should be replaced by a field service technician. Symptom FRU/action Suspected software problem. 1. To determine if problems are caused by the software, verify that: v The server has the minimum memory needed to use the software. For memory requirements, see the information that comes with the software. Note: If you have just installed an adapter or memory, you might have a memory address conflict. v The software is designed to operate on the server. v Other software works on the server. v The software that you are using works on another system. If you received any error messages when using the software program, see the information that comes with the software for a description of the messages and suggested solutions to the problem. 2. If you have verified these items and the problem remains, contact the place of purchase. Service processor error codes When viewed in the system-error log, the Remote Supervisor Adapter II SlimLine messages will appear as text descriptions. To determine a possible error condition for the Remote Supervisor Adapter II SlimLine, see "Viewing error logs from the diagnostic programs" on page 90. SCSI error codes 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. 132 xSeries 236 Type 8841: Hardware Maintenance Manual and Troubleshooting Guide
