To view server configuration information (such as system configuration, memory contents, interrupt request (IRQ) use, direct memory access (DMA) use, device drivers, and so on), select Hardware Info from the top of the screen. Diagnostic text messages Diagnostic text messages are displayed while the tests are running. A diagnostic text message contains one of the following results: Passed: The test was completed without any errors. Failed: The test detected 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: The test could not be run. There was no failure of the hardware that was being tested, but there might be a hardware failure elsewhere, or another problem prevented the test from running; for example, there might be a configuration problem, or the hardware might be missing or is not being recognized. The result is followed by an error code or other additional information about the error. Viewing the test log To view the test log when the tests are completed, select Utility from the top of the screen and then select View Test Log. The test-log data is maintained only while you are running the diagnostic programs. When you exit from the diagnostic programs, the test log is cleared. To save the test log to a file on a diskette or to the hard disk, click Save Log on the diagnostic programs screen and specify a location and name for the saved log file. Notes: 1. To create and use a diskette, you must add an optional external diskette drive to the server. 2. To save the test log to a diskette, you must use a diskette that you have formatted yourself; this function does not work with preformatted diskettes. If the diskette has sufficient space for the test log, the diskette can contain other data. Diagnostic error codes The following table describes the error codes that the diagnostic programs might generate and suggested actions to correct the detected problems. If the diagnostic programs generate error codes that are not listed in the table, make sure that the latest levels of BIOS, Remote Supervisor Adapter II SlimLine, and ServeRAID code are installed. In the error codes, x can be any numeral or letter. However, if the three-digit number in the central position of the code is 000, 195, or 197, do not replace a CRU or FRU. These numbers appearing in the central position of the code have the following meanings: 60 IBM xSeries 460 Type 8872 and xSeries MXE 460 Type 8874: Problem Determination and Service Guide
