Table 6. LED indications (continued)
Symptom
What you should do
A power interruption during a
software update occurs. When you
power on the NetVista thin client,
the Ethernet network LED shows a
solid green color and the monitor
does not display any screens.
The software on the NetVista thin client may be
damaged. Contact IBM Service and Support.
The Ethernet network LED shows a
flashing amber color.
1.
Press the power button to reset power to the
NetVista thin client.
2.
Check network cable connector
3.
If the Ethernet network LED still shows a flashing
amber color, you may need to replace the
NetVista thin client logic/chassis unit. Contact
IBM, to request a replacement part (see
“Replacing parts for N70 thin clients” on page 35).
The system LED flashes amber
once shortly after power off.
The NetVista thin client hardware automatically
enables Wake-On-LAN (WOL). This is not an
indication of a hardware problem.
Monitor LED
The monitor LED fails to function
after power on.
If the problem still persists after you verified the
monitor cable connections, or after you substituted a
properly working monitor, refer to the documentation
for your monitor for more information.
The monitor LED shows a solid
amber color, or a flashing amber
color.
If the problem still persists after you verified the
monitor cable connections, or after you substituted a
properly working monitor, refer to the documentation
for your monitor for more information.
Network error messages
The error messages listed in this section apply only to models with a pre-installed
Ethernet adapter or riser card.
If a failure condition occurs after the Ethernet controller is initialized, an error
message appears on the screen. The error messages that can occur are shown
below. If you experience any error related to the Ethernet adapter, record the error
message, and tell your network administrator about the problem.
RPL-related error messages
These error messages are specific to the Ethernet adapter and the RPL environment
of your computer.
The two most common error messages are shown below:
v
RPL-ROM-ERR:105 The integrated Ethernet failed the loopback test.
Error 105 indicates that a power-on diagnostic test performed by the Ethernet
module did not execute correctly. If this error message appears, you must have
the computer serviced.
v
RPL-ROM-ERR:107 Media test failed, check the cable.
