Diagnostic programs and error messages

The system diagnostic programs are stored on the Device Drivers and IBM Enhanced
Diagnostics CD. These programs are the primary method of testing the major
components of your computer.
Diagnostic error messages indicate that a problem exists; they are not intended to be
used to identify a failing part. Troubleshooting and servicing complex problems that
are indicated by error messages should be performed by trained service personnel.
Sometimes the first error to occur causes additional errors. In this case, the computer
displays more than one error message. Always follow the suggested action
instructions for the first error message that appears.
The following sections contain the error codes that might be displayed in the detailed
test log and summary log, when running the diagnostic programs.
The error code format is as follows:
fff-ttt-iii-date-cc-text message
where:
fff
ttt
