DIAGNOSTICS error codes occur if the system recognizes a problem while
running the DIAGNOSTICS program. These error codes help identify possible
defective subassemblies.
Table 5-2 through 5-12 list possible error codes, a description of the error
condition, and the action required to correct the condition.
In each case, the Recommended Action column lists steps necessary to correct
the problem. After completing each step, run the DIAGNOSTICS program to
verify that the error condition has been corrected. If the error code
reappears, perform the next step, then run the DIAGNOSTICS program. Continue
until the DIAGNOSTICS program no longer detects an error condition.
The error codes are in the form of AYY - XX or AAYY - XX, A or AA denotes the
test or action that failed. XX denotes a specific problem. For example,
error code 603 - 07 indicated that the diskette drive write/read/compare test
failed because of a fatal error while writing.
For assistance in the removal and replacement of a particular subassembly,
see Chapter 7, " Removal and Replacement Procedures."
