POST Error Messages
Most POST error messages are displayed at the system monitor and are self-
explanatory. Use the error messages returned by POST to troubleshoot the system.
CODE EXAMPLE 3-4 lists typical POST error messages.
Note – In CODE EXAMPLE 3-4, the last error message indicates that an MBus
processor module with external cache has been installed into the system with an
MBus module with no external cache. This is not a supported configuration.

The system LED is located on the right front side of the chassis and lights when the
system is operating.
FIGURE 3-1 shows the location of the system LED. TABLE 4-1 on
page 27 suggests corrective actions when the system LED is not lit.
