A power failure damaged the stored information on the drive-startup sequence.
Action:
You must reset the drive-startup sequence. From the Configuration/Setup
Utility main menu, select
Start Options
; then, follow the instructions on the screen.
For information on using the Configuration/Setup Utility program, see “Using the
Configuration/Setup Utility main menu” on page 21.
If this information cannot be restored, have the system serviced.
186
An I/O function card, I/O board, or hardware error occurred.
Action:
Check to see if the error logs in the Configuration/Setup Utility program
provide additional information on the error.
If the problem persists, have the system serviced.
187
The VPD serial number is not set.
Action:
The system serial number is set in the VPD EEPROM at the time of
manufacturing. If the I/O function card has been replaced, the system serial number
will be invalid and must be set. From the main menu of the Configuration/Setup
Utility program, select
System Information
; then, select
Product Data
. If the
problem persists, have the system serviced.
188
A vital product data (VPD) error occurred.
Action:
Check to see if the error logs in the Configuration/Setup Utility program
provide additional information on the error.
If the problem persists, have the system serviced.
189
An attempt has been made to access the server with invalid passwords. After three
incorrect attempts, the server locks up; that is, the log-on data fields are no longer
available to the user.
201
An error occurred during the memory controller test. This error can be caused by:
Incorrectly installed memory
A failing DIMM
A Processor controller board problem
An I/O function card problem
An I/O board problem
Action:
1. If you just installed memory, see “Installing DIMMs and memory boards” on
page 52 to verify that the new memory is correct for your server. Verify that the
DIMMs are seated correctly and installed using the DIMM population sequence
described in “Installing DIMMs and memory boards” on page 52.
2. If the problem persists, check to see if the system has isolated the problem to a
DIMM:
Check the memory fail LEDs on the LED card (see “LED card (processor
and DIMM) LEDs” on page 157). If a memory fail LED is on, run the
diagnostic program for the DIMM indicated by the LED.
If the tests fail, replace the DIMM. If the problem persists after you replace
the DIMM, have the system serviced.
If the memory tests do not fail, have the system serviced.
3. Review the error logs in the Configuration/Setup Utility program for information
on the memory error.
If the problem persists, have the system serviced.
