3Com CS/2500 manual Startup Messages

B STARTUP MESSAGES

At power-on or reset, the server performs self-tests and diagnostics. When a console is attached and monitor mode is enabled, it sends status and error messages generated by these tests to the console, if possible. This appendix lists these messages in alphabetical order.

The server may not always be able to report a failure on the console (for example, CPU failure).

If you receive an error message, refer to Chapter 6, “Troubleshooting.” If you still receive an error message, contact 3Com or your network supplier. Refer to Appendix D, “Technical Support,” for technical support information.
