PC Server 720 - SCSI / non-SCSI error code format
Applicable to: World-Wide
SCSI/Non-SCSI Error Code Format
This section contains an explanation of the encoded SCSI and non-SCSI POST error codes and detailed information about each code.
Error messages are displayed on the screen as three, four, five, eight, twelve, or thirteen digits. An 'X— in an error message can be any number. The shorter POST errors are highlighted in the Symptom-to-FRU Index. Some digits will represent different information for SCSI errors versus non-SCSI errors.
The following figure shows which digits display the shorter POST errors. The figure also defines additional SCSI information.
RDDDPLSCB QEET
Test state
Error codeE xtension
Qualifier
Bus (0=internal 1=external)
Capacity of the device
Slot number of the device
LUN (usually 0)
PUN (SCSI ID #)
Device Number
Reserved Digit (usually 0)
Notes
1. Non-IBM device error codes and documentation supersede this list.
2. Duplicate SCSI ID settings will cause misleading error symptoms or messages.
For example, SCSI error code 0210501A0 decodes as follows:
|

|
PLSC |
QEET |
Information |
|
0100 |
0000 |
On systems with NVRAM, SCSI setup data not located, or the checksum did not verify. On systems without NVRAM |
|
0200 |
0000 |

0300 |
0000 |
No space available in extended BIOS data area for SCSI data table (possibly too many adapters installed). |
|
0400 |
0000 |

QEET Errors (other than 0000)
These are specific 'QEET— error codes (preceded by a 'DDD— indicating an adapter).
Note
A number in slot 'S— indicates an error on the adapter, (or device attached to the adapter) in slot 'S.— If 'S— is 0, suspect the system board.
