ERROR MESSAGES
When an error occurs in the server, an error message appears on the display unit connected to the
server.
Error Messages after Power-on
Powering on the server automatically starts the self-diagnostic program, POST (Power On
Self-Test). When POST detects any error, it displays an error message on the display unit.
Follow the table below to troubleshoot such errors. However, even when there is no hardware
failure, use of the keyboard or mouse at the following times may cause POST to assume a keyboard
controller error has occurred and stop processing.
Immediately after the server is powered
!
Immediately after the system is rebooted in response to a keyboard instruction
!
(simultaneous key entry of Ctrl + Alt + Delete)
Immediately after the system is rebooted in response to an OS instruction
!
During hardware initialization following restart of the POST
!
When the POST detects a hardware failure due to any of the above reason, restart the server. If the
same error message reappears, you may assume there is no hardware error. To ensure normal
operation of the server, however, make sure you follow the following restrictions:
Do not make any keyboard entry or use the mouse before the memory count appears on the
!
screen following the server power-on.
Do not make any keyboard entry or use the mouse before the start-up message of the SCSI
!
Configuration Utility appears on the screen following the server reboot.
IMPORTANT:
representative. The alarm indication is a great help for system
maintenance.
Note the on-screen message before contacting your service
