Error Messages
Error messages that appear on the screen might be text, numeric, or both.
There are several types of error messages.
POST error messages
These messages appear when POST finds problems with the hardware
during startup or when a change in the hardware configuration is found.
POST error messages are 3-, 4-, 5-, 8-, or 12-character alphanumeric
messages and include brief explanations (except I999XXXX errors).
For more information about what caused an error message to appear and
what action to take, see “Solving POST Error Message Problems” on
page 88 and “POST Message Charts” on page 90.
Software-generated error messages
These messages appear if a problem or conflict is detected by the
application program, the operating system, or both. Error messages for
operating-system and other software problems are usually text messages,
but they also can be numeric messages. For information about these
software error messages, see the information supplied with the operating
system and application program.
Diagnostic error codes and messages
These codes and messages appear if a hardware problem is detected by one
of the IBM Enhanced Diagnostics test programs. Along with error codes,
the messages present text information that can be used to identify a failing
part. See “IBM Enhanced Diagnostics” on page 118.
