Checkpoint Codes - IBM JS20 - BladeCenter - 8842 Installation And User Manual

Checkpoint codes

The POST firmware checkpoints (progress codes) indicate the detection of a
problem if the server stops on a checkpoint during the startup process.
v A four-digit code indicates successful completion of POST when the server does
v A result other than a four-digit code indicates that POST might have detected a
Checkpoints display in the system console from the time that ac power is connected
to the system until the operating-system login prompt is displayed after a successful
operating-system startup. These checkpoints have the following forms:
Dxxx, Exxx
Error codes
The management-module log, which can be accessed through the BladeCenter
unit, contains the most recent error codes and messages that the system generated
during POST.

problem. Error messages also appear during startup if POST detects a
hardware-configuration problem. The last POST firmware checkpoint code posted
is the most likely failure.
Dxxx and Exxx checkpoints indicate that a system processor is in
control and is initializing the system resources. Control passes to
the operating system when E105 displays on the operator panel
display. Location code information might also display on the
operator panel during this time.
These codes range from Dxxx to EFFF.
If a fault is detected, an 8-digit error code is displayed in the
BladeCenter management-module event log. A location code might
be displayed at the same time on the second line.
