CA279001
Explanation: The firmware update image contains an update module that is not already on the system.
Response:
1. Look at the event log for a BA27xxxx error code to determine if a firmware installation error occurred.
2. If a firmware installation error did occur, resolve the problem.
3. Retry the firmware update.
4. If the problem persists:
a. Go to Checkout procedure.
b. Replace the system-board, as described in Replacing the system-board and chassis assembly.
CA2799FD
Explanation: A firmware update module is being read.
Response: This checkpoint alternates in the control panel with CA2799FF.
This pair of checkpoints might stay in the display for up to 30 minutes with no indication of activity other than the
alternating codes. Do not assume that the system is hung until the alternation stops and only one of the checkpoints
remains in the control panel for at least 30 minutes, with no other indication of activity.
If the system is hung on this checkpoint, then CA2799FD and CA2799FF are not alternating and you must perform
the following procedure:
1. Shut down the server.
2. Restart the server using the permanent boot image, as described in Starting the PERM image.
3. Use the Update and Manage System Flash menu to reject the temporary image.
