If the diagnostic programs do not detect any hardware errors but the problem
remains during normal server operations, a software error might be the cause. If
you suspect a software problem, see the information that comes with your software.
A single problem might cause more than one error message. When this happens,
correct the cause of the first error message. The other error messages usually will
not occur the next time you run the diagnostic programs.
Exception: If multiple error codes indicate a microprocessor error, the error might
be in a microprocessor or in a microprocessor socket. See "Microprocessor
problems" on page 134 for information about diagnosing microprocessor problems.
If the server stops during testing and you cannot continue, restart the server and try
running the diagnostic programs again. If the problem remains, replace the
component that was being tested when the server stopped.

User Aborted: You stopped the test before it was completed.
Not Applicable: You attempted to test a device that is not present in the server.
Aborted: The test could not proceed because of the server configuration.
Warning: The test could not be run. There was no failure of the hardware that was
being tested, but there might be a hardware failure elsewhere, or another problem
prevented the test from running; for example, there might be a configuration
problem, or the hardware might be missing or is not being recognized.
The result is followed by an error code or other additional information about the
error.
