Power-on Self Test (POST) Messages
The following table shows error messages that can appear on the screen during the
power-on self-test (POST).
Notes:
1. The actions for some of the messages require you to run the
Configuration/Setup Utility. For information about using these programs, see
“Using the Configuration/Setup Utility” on page 22.
2. If a password prompt appears with a POST message, type the administrator or
power-on password; then, press Enter.
POST Message Table
POST Message Description
062 The Netfinity 5000 server failed to boot on three consecutive attempts.
All caches are disabled. This can be caused by repeatedly turning the Netfinity
5000 server on and then off or resetting the Netfinity 5000 server.
Action: Start the Configuration/Setup Utility program and verify that all settings are
correct. (See “The Configuration/Setup Utility.”) Use the Cache Control selection
in the Advanced Setup menu of the Configuration/Setup Utility program to enable
the caches. (See “Advanced Setup” on page 28.)
If the problem persists, have the system serviced. When the problem is corrected,
make sure to enable the caches.
101
102
An error occurred during the system board and microprocessor test.
Action: Have the system serviced.
106 An error occurred during the system board and microprocessor test.
Action: Have the system serviced.
114 An adapter read-only memory (ROM) error occurred.
Action: Remove the options. If you can start the server without the options
installed, reinstall each option one at a time and retest after each is reinstalled.
When an option fails, replace it.
If you cannot isolate and correct the problem, have the system serviced.
129 An error was detected in the L1 cache of one of the microprocessors.
Action:
1. If you just installed a microprocessor, verify that the microprocessor is installed
and seated correctly.
2. If the problem persists, check to see if the system has isolated the problem to a
microprocessor:
If the System Error LED on the information LED panel is on, check to see if
any Microprocessor Error LEDs on the system board are on (see “System
Board LEDs” on page 168).
If a Microprocessor LED is on, run the diagnostic program for the
microprocessor indicated by the LED (if the secondary microprocessor
error LED is on, run the Alt. CPU diagnostic program). If the tests fail,
replace the microprocessor.
If the microprocessor tests do not fail, have the system serviced.
If no error LED is on, the error logs in the Configuration/Setup Utility
program might provide additional information on the microprocessor error.
If the problem persists, have the system serviced.
151 A real-time clock (RTC) error occurred.
Action: Have the system serviced.
