This section lists problems the CS/3000 series server can experience while it
is running multiprotocol communications server software. These problems
are indicated by abnormal behavior of front-panel LEDs or by error
messages on the console.
The Self Test LED flashes continually or the Boot State LED remains on
during software operation.
A flashing Self Test LED indicates a software failure. A lighted Boot State LED
indicates a hardware failure.
In either event, take the following action:
1 Reset the server by pressing the reset switch.
2 If the problem persists, perform the following steps:
a Using a nonconductive object such as a plastic stylus, press the
hardware interrupt switch.
The hardware interrupt switch is located on the server's left side
(viewed from the front of the server) close to the front, as shown in
Figure 1-1 on page 1-3. The switch is recessed to protect it from being
pressed unintentionally.
WARNING: Use only a nonconductive object such as a plastic stylus to
press the hardware interrupt switch. Do not use the tip of a pencil.
Graphite particles can cause electrical shock to the operator and can
damage components on the server's circuit boards.
Pressing this switch aborts software operation and passes control of the
server to the monitor utility.
