Warning Messages
Bitfailureinthefirst64KBofmainmemory
Slave DMA-register failure
Replace the system board. See "System Board."
Master DMA-register failure
Master interrupt-mask register failure
Slave interrupt-mask register failure
Keyboard-controller test failure
Check the keyboard cable and connector for proper connection. If the problem persists, replace
the keyboard. If the problem persists, replace the system board. See "System Board."
Replace the system board. See "System Board."
System configuration check failure
Keyboard controller not detected
Screen initialization failure
Screen-retrace test failure
Search for video ROM failure
Unexpected interrupt in protected mode
Ensure that all expansion cards are properly seated, and then reboot the system. See
"Expansion Cards."
Improperly seated or faulty memory modules
Remove and reseat the memory modules. See "Memory." If the problem persists, replace the
memory modules. If the problem persists, replace the system board. See "System Board."
Replace the system board. See "System Board."
Time-of-day clock stopped
Replace the battery. See "System Battery." If the problem persists, replace the system board.
See "System Board."
Super I/O chip failure (defective system board)
Replace the system board. See "System Board."
Microprocessor frequency mismatch. Occurs
when the front-side (external) bus speed of a
microprocessor is not supported.
If video is available, a screen message identifies the faulty microprocessor. Replace the
microprocessor with a supported microprocessor. See "Microprocessors." If video is not
available, replace microprocessor 1 and then, if the problem persists, replace microprocessor 2.
Cache test failure (defective microprocessor)
Remove and reseat the microprocessor(s). See "Microprocessors." If the problem persists,
replace the microprocessor(s). If the problem persists, replace the system board. See "System
Board."
FANn_LED
(Located by each fan.)
Blinking amber: A problem exists with the
associated fan.
THERMTRIP
(Located near the front left corner of the system board.)
Amber: One or both of the processors
are overheated.
MISMATCH
(Located near the front left corner of the system board.)
Amber: Processors do not match.
VRM1_OK
(Located near the edge of the system board by VRM1.)
Off: Processor 1 VRM is disabled.
VRM2_OK
(Located near the edge of the system board by VRM2.)
Green if two processors are installed or off if only
one processor is installed.
Off if two processors are installed.
D_12V
(Located near the front left corner of the system board,
near the PS_PWR connector.)
Off: System 12-V power is not available.
D_3VAUX
(Located near the front left corner of the system board,
near the PS_PWR connector.)
System 3.3-V auxiliary power is not
available.
