Diagnostics 11
Sometimes the first error to occur causes additional errors. In this case, the server
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 appear 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 is the three-digit function code that indicates the function being
tested when the error occurred. For example, function code 089 is for
the microprocessor.
ttt is the three-digit failure code that indicates the exact test failure that
was encountered.
iii is the three-digit device ID.
date is the date that the diagnostic test was run and the error recorded.
cc is the check digit that is used to verify the validity of the information.
text message is the diagnostic message that indicates the reason for the problem.
Text messages
The diagnostic text message format is as follows:
Function Name: Result (test specific string)
where:
Function Name
is the name of the function being tested when the error occurred. This
corresponds to the function code (fff) given in the previous list.
Result can be one of the following:
Passed This result occurs when the diagnostic test completes without any
errors.
Failed This result occurs when the diagnostic test discovers an error.
User Aborted
This result occurs when you stop the diagnostic test before it is
complete.
Not Applicable
This result occurs when you specify a diagnostic test for a device that
is not present.
Aborted This result occurs when the test could not proceed because of the
server configuration.
Warning This result occurs when a possible problem is reported during the
diagnostic test, such as when a device that is to be tested is not
installed.
Test Specific String
This is additional information that is used to analyze the problem.
