System Loader Message
Each of the System Loader Messages are explained below. Possible causes for many of the
messages are provided. If the message begins with "ERROR:" the system halts after issuing the
message. If the message begins with "NOTE:" the message provides information and the computer
continues operating.
The computer will attempt to output messages to a Graphics Display Station if one is present. If it
can not find a display station, it will output messages to the serial interface at select code O.
Often the computer attempts to identify the device to which it was "talking" when the message was
generated. The trailer "SELECT CODE NN" is appended to the message to indicate which select
code (110 port) of the computer caused the message. Select codes 0 through 7 are on the computer
and are controlled by the first lIO processor (lOP). Select codes 8 through 15 are on the
110
Expander and are controlled by the second lOP.

Informational message. The loader is ready to load another portion
of the operating system. Mount the volume containing an unloaded portion of the operating
system. Volumes may be mounted in any order without affecting the loading process, but must be
loaded in the same device.
SYSTEM NOT FOUND; WILL RETRY IN
)o()(-Unable to find an operating system on any mass storage
device. The loader will attempt to find an operating system again in XXX seconds. Possible causes:
mass storage device not powered up, no media in mass storage device, wrong disc in disc drive,
computer or mass storage device hardware failure, media failure, incompatible loader/system
revision numbers, etc.
BAD SYSTEM FILE: SELECT CODE NN -
Operating system loaded. However, an error has been de-
tected in the operating system code during loading. Possible causes: corrupt system, media failure,
mass storage hardware failure, or computer hardware failure.
NOT ENOUGH USABLE MEMORY; TOTAL IS
)CCO( -
The amount of usable memory is too small to load
the operating system. The total amount of memory required is 98304 bytes plus the amount of
memory for the operating system. The total amount of good memory is "XXXX" bytes. Possible
causes: corrupt system or hardware (memory) failure.
BAD CARD OR DEi.1 I CE: SELECT CODE NN -
Informational message. A hardware failure has been de-
tected (interface card or mass storage device did not pass the Module Self-Test). The loader
continues searching for an operating system.
