Power-Up Messages

•A *** message is a diagnostic error format displayed when an error is detected by SROM or XSROM code. Power-up continues depending on the type of error and system configuration.

•A ### message is a diagnostic warning format detected by SROM or XSROM code. System power-up continues, and the resource remains available for use.

•An ~E~ message indicates a more severe error has been detected; power-up continues, but the affected resource is dropped.

•A ~W~ message indicates an error has been reported to the SCM by a

“slave” microprocessor (PSM, PBM, or HPM). Power-up continues, but the affected resource is questionable.

•A ~I~ message is informational only, and indicates no error condition.
