Error Messages
There are three kinds of error messages. Two message types appear on screen
during the POST process and include text messages or alpha-numeric code. The
third type is not a visual message, but an audible message (beep codes). Any one
of these three types of error messages could point to a problem, which might
prevent the Netserver from completing the boot process. The three types are
describe in the following bulleted list.
Text error messages (reverse video) – These text messages display in black
text on white background and can provide more information on screen.
Press the [Enter] key to see a definition of the message and what action to
take to remedy the problem. A sample of these messages appear in
Table 12-1.
Power-on self test (POST) codes - These codes display in normal video
(white text on black background) and may be a text message or an alpha
numeric code. If an error with a text message occurs during the POST,
details of the error are displayed. Follow the instructions on the screen. If
an alpha-numeric code appears, refer to the codes listed in the
HP Netserver LP 1000r Service Manual.
Beep Codes – These are series of audible beeps, which occur during the
boot process before the video display can initialize allowing the visual
messages of the POST routines to appear. If you hear a series of audible
beeps before the video appears on screen, refer to the beep codes listed in
the HP Netserver LP 1000r Service Manual.
