Table 2. Firmware Checkpoints (continued)
Checkpoint Description Action/
Possible Failing FRU
E1FD The operator panel will
alternate between the code
E1FD and another Exxx code,
where Exxx is the point at
which the error occurred.
Checkpoint E1FD indicates
that an error has occurred
during system startup. The
display alternates between
E1FD and another
checkpoint, Exxx, where the
error occurred. Check the list
of checkpoints for Exxx. If the
description for that
checkpoint does not resolve
the problem, return here for
more instruction.
Checkpoint E1FD may be
displayed when an adapter
or peripheral is
malfunctioning. To find which
device is most likely to have
caused the error, follow these
steps.
1. Check the ″progress
codes from last boot″ in
the service processor’s
Information menu. Look
for the last location code
that was displayed before
the E1FD error code.
2. The device pointed to by
this location is suspect.
3. If the progress code
listing only contains the
E1FD and Exxx
checkpoints, restart the
system and power off
when the E1FD and Exxx
codes are displayed.
Repeat step 1.
4. Try removing the suspect
device (if it is not
integrated). Remove
power from the system
before changing the
hardware configuration.
5. Restart the system. If it
now boots normally,
without stopping at
checkpoint E1FD, the
device that was removed
in the previous step
should be replaced.
6. If the above steps have
not resolved the problem,
go to “MAP 1540:
Minimum Configuration”
on page 110.
