Action
Interpret the error beep codes at power-up and
check the power-up screen for a failure
detected during self-tests.
The system automatically reverts to the fail-
safe loader to load new SRM firmware. See
Section 7.1.2. If the fail-safe load does not
work, contact your service provider to replace
the system board.
Use the error beep codes and control panel
messages to determine the error.
Enter the more el command when the SRM
prompt is displayed to read the event log.
Check the cabling and seating of the device. If
this is not the problem, the device is bad and
should be replaced.
Check the cabling and seating of the device,
and then wait 5 seconds for the device to
appear in the console display. If the device
still does not appear, contact your service
provider.
