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 7-22
IPL Error Screen
This error message screen displays until you press any key. 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 7-4.
