IBM PS/2/Servers - 166 POST error with IBM ServerGuard adapter
Applicable to: World-Wide
Symptom:
During POST (Power-On System Test) a 166 error is received indicating the installed ServerGuard Adapter is "busy."
Problem Isolation Aids:
ALL PS/2 Servers with the serverguard adapter, FRU P/N06H8091, installed may be affected.
Fix:
Do not replace the ServerGuard Adapter. This error may be caused by either inserting or removing the modem from the PCMCIA socket, or connecting/disconnecting the battery-pack to the adapter while system power is on.
To Correct the Problem:
1. Power off the system, then remove the adapter.
2. Make sure the battery-pack is fully charged.
3. Disconnect the battery-pack from the adapter for a few seconds.
4. Reconnect the battery-pack, and make sure the 3 LED's, located on top of the PCMCIA modem socket, follow this sequence:
- CR3 comes on first.
- Seconds later, CR2 blinks 5 TIMES in a 5 second time interval, then stays on for a few seconds and goes off.
- Seconds later, CR3 goes off.
- CR1 remains off the whole time.
If problems continue, use normal problem isolation procedures.
