v A new problem occurs. You can use the remind button to delay server maintenance until a later time. Diagnostic programs and error messages The diagnostic programs are in the system flash erasable programmable read-only memory (EPROM) on the I/O board. These programs are the primary method of testing the major components of the server. Diagnostic error messages indicate that a problem exists; they are not intended to be used to identify a failing part. Troubleshooting and servicing of complex problems that are indicated by error messages should be performed by trained service personnel. 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. Diagnostic text messages While a test is running, the name of the test is displayed on the screen. If the test detects an error or is abnormally ended, a message is displayed to indicate the reason that the test stopped. The message is in the following form: result test_specific_string where: result is one of the following results: Passed This test was completed without any errors. Failed This test discovered an error. User Aborted You stopped the test before it was completed. Not Applicable You attempted to test a device that is not present in the server. Aborted The test could not proceed because of the server configuration. Warning A possible problem was reported during the test (for example, a device that was to be tested is not installed). test specific string is an error code or other information about the error. 22 IBM xSeries 365 Types 8861, 8862: Hardware Maintenance Manual and Troubleshooting Guide
