Caxxyyyy Partition Firmware Checkpoints - IBM Flex System p270 Compute Node Installation And Service Manual

C700XXXX
Explanation: A problem has occurred with the system firmware during startup.
Response:
1. Shutdown and restart the server from the permanent-side image. See Starting the PERM image.
2. Search RETAIN tips and the firmware change history for the reference code to determine the recommended
actions. If a firmware update is needed, see Updating the firmware.
3. If the server firmware was not updated in the previous step, update the server firmware. See Updating the
firmware.
4. Replace the system-board, as described in Replacing the system-board and chassis assembly.

CAxxyyyy partition firmware checkpoints:

The CAxxyyyy partition firmware progress codes provide information about the progress of partition
firmware as it is initializing. In some cases, a server might hang (or stall) at one of these progress codes
without displaying an 8-character system reference code (SRC).
The CAxxyyyy progress codes below are the progress codes that might be displayed during the power-on
self-test (POST), along with suggested actions to take if the system hangs on the progress code. Only
when you experience a hang condition should you take any of the actions described for a progress code.
If the system hangs on a progress code, follow the suggested actions in the order in which they are listed
until the problem is solved. If an action solves the problem, you can stop performing the remaining
actions. See Chapter 7, "Parts listing for IBM Flex System p270 Compute Node," on page 95 to determine
which components are CRUs and which components are FRUs.
