Sun Microsystems 60 service manual Code Example 3-3Typical Error Code Failure Message

If an error occurs during the POST execution, the keyboard Caps Lock key indicator stops flashing and an error code is displayed using the Caps Lock, Compose, Scroll Lock, and Num Lock key indicators. The error code indicates a particular system hardware failure.

Note –An error code may only be visible for a few seconds. Observe the Caps Lock, Compose, Scroll Lock, and Num Lock key indicators closely while POST is active.

In most cases, POST also attempts to send a failure message to the POST monitoring system. CODE EXAMPLE 3-3identifies the typical appearance of a failure message. If a keyboard error code is displayed, determine the meaning of the error code by comparing the keyboard error code pattern to the corresponding error code meaning listed in TABLE 3-2.

Note –The system unit does not automatically boot if a POST error occurs; it halts at the ok prompt to alert the user of a failure.
