Starting point for all problems

Network Station hardware reports hardware problems and configuration
errors when detected. The Network Station indicates problems in the
following ways:
v System LED indications.
v Audio beep sequences.
v Error codes and text messages.
LED indications and audio beep sequences generally occur before the IBM
Network Station logo displays. Error messages only appear on the monitor
after the IBM Network Station logo displays. It is important that you record
any system LED indications, audio beep sequences, error codes, or text
messages that occur when you experience a problem.
