Serveraid-4Lx Problems And Actions - IBM totalstorage 326 User Reference

as a field replaceable unit (FRU), resulting in a combination of PCI adapters that
includes three or more 10/100 Ethernet adapters and a ServeRAID adapter, the
system BIOS might write a power-on self test (POST) 001801xx Resource
Allocation Error message to the error log. If a monitor is attached to the engine, the
message will also be displayed on the monitor.
This message will not cause actual operational problems with the appliance. The
engine will continue to boot to completion and will otherwise function normally.
However, each time you reboot the engine, the same message again will be written
to the error log and displayed on the monitor (if attached).
To eliminate these warning messages during POST, you can obtain a utility to
disable the 10/100 Ethernet adapter's expansion ROM from the NAS support Web
site at http://www.ibm.com/storage/support/nas.

ServeRAID-4Lx problems and actions

Table 16 lists problems and corrective actions associated with the adapter. The
table helps you determine which adapters might need to be replaced at the
conclusion of troubleshooting procedures.
Note: Do not replace any controllers until you have followed the POST (ISPR) error

procedures (see "POST (ISPR) error procedures" on page 105). Replace a
ServeRAID controller only when indicated to do so in the POST (ISPR) error
procedures.
