IPL Error Detection
While receiving data, IPL performs many checks on the data to ensure that the data is received
correctly. If an error is detected, IPL immediately aborts the download, and reports the error on an
error screen.
Error screens may vary depending on the action being performed. A sample error screen may look like
the screen pictured below:
Figure 11-16. IPL Error Screen
This error message screen displays until a key is pressed. Once the screen is acknowledged, IPL
returns to the Initial Program Loader main menu to wait for a new selection.
To find the probable cause of the error, use the error number and/or the error text displayed on the
screen to look up the error in Table 11-4.
