Reading the Operator Panel Display

Attention: If you have a flashing 888 in the Operator Panel Display, do not push the
Reset/Scroll button before you carefully read the related documentation.
The operator panel display has two 16-position rows.
The operator panel display is used for:
Event indications and problem reporting during Power-On-Self-Test (POST) and
Configuration Methods.
Progress and command indications when loading diagnostics.
Event indications during diagnostics when a Console-Display is not available.
Problem reporting during diagnostics when a Console-Display is not available.
Check stop indications when the machine cannot recover from a check stop.
Crash reporting when the machine cannot recover from a crash.
Dump progress and command indications during dump.
Problem reporting when there is a power problem.
During POST, the numbers that are displayed indicate the progress of the testing. If an error
is detected that requires attention, the system unit stops, and a flashing 888 is displayed in
the operator panel display to identify the error. If this occurs, refer to the AIX Version 4
Problem Solving Guide and Reference manual.
When the self-tests and configuration methods complete without error, the operator panel
display is blank.
