Identifying LCD-Indicated Conditions

Identifying LCD-Indicated Conditions
This workstation uses a 2-line LCD, with up to 16-characters per line, to display
firmware/operating system progress codes. These codes are referred to as chassis codes.
The information displayed on the LCD has the following format:
XXX YYYY: ZZZZZZ
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
Where:
XXX – represents a 3-character Ostat
YYYY – represents a 4-digit hex code identifying the code module being executed
ZZZZZZ – represents a 6-digit FRU descriptor
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA – represents text (up to 16 characters) relating a diagnostic message
The 3-character Ostat can be one of the following:
• FLT (fault) – A hardware error has been detected
• TST (test) – Hardware being tested
• INI (initialize) – Hardware being initialized
• SHU (shutdown) – System being shutdown
• WRN (warning) – A non-optimal operating condition exists
• RUN (running) – System is running operating system

Selftest Failures

Chassis codes are the key to debugging selftest errors. If a failure is found during selftest,
chassis codes are displayed in the system LCD. To debug a failure:
1. In Table 3-1 starting on the next page, find the chassis code listed on the LCD.
2. In the Boot Console Handler, use the Service Menu's pim, pdt, and ChassisCodes
commands to get additional information about the failure.
The FRU column in Table 3-1 shows messages printed on the LCD that refer to system
FRUs. All codes are listed in numeric order.

Memory Failures

The J5xxx and J7xxx workstations require special Memory Page Deallocation to be
implemented. This feature allows the workstation to provide information to the operating
system about memory failures.
HP-UX 10.x uses this information to map out failing memory areas and continue normal
operation. You can check the Memory Page Deallocation Table (PDT) using the pdt
command in the Service menu of the Boot Console Handler (refer to Chapter 5). If a failing
DIMM is replaced, use the command pdt clear in the Service Menu to clear out the PDT.
