Replace the diskette.

 

 

2.

If the problem persists, make sure that the diskette drive cables are correctly

 

 

 

and securely connected.

 

 

3.

If the problem remains, replace the diskette drive.

 

If the problem persists, call for service.

 

 

604

An error occurred during a diskette drive test.

 

Action:

1.

Verify that the Configuration/Setup Utility program correctly reflects the type

 

 

 

of diskette drive that you have installed.

 

 

2.

Run the diagnostic tests. If the diagnostic tests fail, call for service.

 

 

662

A diskette drive configuration error occurred.

 

Action:

If you removed a diskette drive, make sure that the diskette drive setting is correct

 

 

in the Configuration/Setup Utility program. If the setting is not correct, change it.

 

If the problem persists, call for service.

 

 

962

A parallel port configuration error occurred.

 

Action:

If you changed a hardware option, make sure that the parallel port setting is correct

 

 

in the Configuration/Setup Utility program. If the setting is not correct, change it.

 

If the problem persists, call for service.

 

 

11xx

An error occurred during the system-board serial port test.

 

Action:

If you have a modem, serial printer, or other serial device attached to your server,

 

 

verify that the serial cable is connected correctly. If it is, use the following

 

 

procedure:

 

 

1.

Turn off the server.

 

 

2.

Disconnect the serial cable from the serial port.

 

 

3.

Wait five seconds; then, turn on the server.

 

If the POST error message does not reappear, either the serial cable or the device is probably

 

failing. See the documentation that comes with the serial device for additional testing

 

information.

 

 

 

If the POST error message reappears, call for service.

 

 

1162

The serial port configuration conflicts with another device in the system.

 

Action:

1.

Make sure that the IRQ and I/O port assignments needed by the serial port are

 

 

 

available.

 

 

2.

If all interrupts are being used by adapters, you might need to remove an

 

 

 

adapter to make an interrupt available to the serial port, or force other adapters

 

 

 

to share an interrupt.

 

 

1800

A PCI adapter has requested a hardware interrupt that is not available.

 

Action:

1.

Make sure that the PCI adapter and all other adapters are set correctly in the

 

 

 

Configuration/Setup Utility program. If the interrupt resource settings are not

 

 

 

correct, change the settings.

 

 

2.

If all interrupts are being used by other adapters, you might need to remove an

 

 

 

adapter to make an interrupt available to the PCI adapter, or force other

 

 

 

adapters to share an interrupt.
