IBM xSeries 130: User's Reference
The system board might contain a failing component, your keyboard might be
defective, or a key on the keyboard might be stuck. Running the diagnostic
tests can isolate the appliance server component that failed, but you must
have your system serviced. If the error message remains, call for service.
Ensure that:
•
Nothing is resting on the keyboard and pressing the key.
•
No key is struck.
•
The keyboard cable is connected correctly to the keyboard and to the
correct connector on the serve.
Note: If you just connected a new mouse or other pointing device, turn off
the appliance server and disconnect that device. Wait at least 5
seconds; then, turn on the appliance server. If the error message goes
away, replace the device.
Running the diagnostic tests can isolate the appliance server component
that failed, but you must have your system serviced. If the error message
remains, call for service.
POST encountered an error on a video adapter. If you are using the
integrated video controller, call for service. If you are using an optional video
adapter, replace the failing video adapter.
A video I/O adapter ROM is not readable, or the video subsystem is defective.
If you hear this beep combination twice, both the system board and an
optional video adapter have failed the test. This beep combination might also
indicate that the system board contains a failing component.
The system-board video subsystem has not detected a monitor connection to
the appliance server. Ensure that the monitor is connected to the appliance
server. If the problem persists, replace the monitor.
POST does not support the optional video adapter. This beep combination
occurs when you install a video adapter that is incompatible with your
appliance server. Replace the optional video adapter with one that the
appliance server supports, or use the integrated video controller.
