POST beep codes The Power-On Self-Test generates a beeping sound to indicate successful completion of POST or to indicate that the tests detect an error. One beep and the appearance of text on the display indicates successful completion of the POST. More than one beep indicates that the POST detects an error. Error code format This section provides an explanation of the encoded non-SCSI and SCSI POST error codes. Error messages are displayed on the screen as three, four, five, eight, twelve, or thirteen digits. An X in an error message can be any number or letter. The shorter POST errors are highlighted in the Symptom-to-FRU Index. Some digits will represent different information for SCSI errors versus non-SCSI errors. The following figure shows which digits display the shorter POST errors. The figure also defines additional SCSI information. RDDDPLSCB QEET Test state Error code Extension Qualifier Bus (0=internal 1=external) Capacity of the device Slot number of the device LUN (usually 0) PUN (SCSI ID #) Device Number Reserved Digit (usually 0) Notes: 1. Non-IBM device error codes and documentation supersede this list. 2. Duplicate SCSI ID settings will cause misleading error symptoms or messages. Product Recovery Program menu Types 6058/6059/6269/6578/6579 machines have recovery and diagnostics programs on a separate hard drive partition. The recovery CD and Enhanced Diagnostics diskette are not shipped with the machine or the HMM. To download diagnostics tests or to order a recovery CD, see "Enhanced Diagnostics download or diskette" on page 113. 112 Hardware Maintenance Manual: IBM NetVista Computer Types 6058, 6059, 6269, 6568, 6569, 6578, 6579, 6648, 6649

POST beep codes
The Power-On Self-Test generates a beeping sound to indicate successful
completion of POST or to indicate that the tests detect an error.
One beep and the appearance of text on the display indicates successful
completion of the POST. More than one beep indicates that the POST detects
an error.
Error code format
This section provides an explanation of the encoded non-SCSI and SCSI POST
error codes.
Error messages are displayed on the screen as three, four, five, eight, twelve,
or thirteen digits. An
X
in an error message can be any number or letter. The
shorter POST errors are highlighted in the Symptom-to-FRU Index. Some
digits will represent different information for SCSI errors versus non-SCSI
errors.
The following figure shows which digits display the shorter POST errors. The
figure also defines additional SCSI information.
