Diagnostic Test Programs
POST Error Messages and Beep Codes
POST error messages and beep codes occur during startup when POST finds a problem with the hardware or detects a change in the hardware configuration. For more information, see pages 122 through 124.
Diagnostic Error Messages
Diagnostic error messages occur when a test finds a problem with the server hardware. These error messages are alphanumeric and they are saved in the Test
Log. For more information, see pages 125 through 134.
Software-Generated Error Messages
These messages occur if a problem or conflict is found by an application program, the operating system, or both. Messages are generally text messages, but they also can be numeric. For information about these error messages, refer to the documentation that comes with your software.
Troubleshooting Charts
The charts under “Troubleshooting Charts” on page 143 list symptoms of problems
(for example, a symptom might be “The mouse is not working.”), along with steps to correct the problems.
Option Diskettes
An optional device or adapter might come with an Option Diskette. Option
Diskettes usually contain option-specific diagnostic test programs or configuration files.
If your optional device or adapter comes with an Option Diskette, follow the instructions that come with the option. Different instructions apply depending on whether the Option Diskette is startable or not.
Diagnostic Test Programs
This section includes useful information about navigating through the diagnostic test programs, as well as procedures for starting and stopping them. These programs are designed to test the IBM Netfinity 5000 server. If you want to test a non-IBM product, refer to the information that comes with that product.
You can start the diagnostic test programs from the Startup panel, when the message Press F2 for Diagnostics appears.
Note: When you run the diagnostic test programs, a single problem can cause several error messages to occur. When this happens, work to correct the cause of the first error message. After the cause is corrected, the other error messages probably will not occur the next time you run the tests.

Running Diagnostic Test Programs
When you start the diagnostic test programs from the Diagnostic Utility menu, you can select the tests, the way the tests run, and the number of times the tests run.
Notes:
1. To run the diagnostic test programs, you must start the server with the highest level password.
That is, if you enter the power-on password, and an administrator password is set, you cannot run the test programs. You can only view the error messages in the test log.
If an administrator password is set, you must enter the administrator password to run the diagnostic test programs.
2. If the server stops during testing and you cannot continue, restart the server and try running the tests again. If the problem persists, have the system serviced.
3. If the diagnostic tests do not find a problem, see “Troubleshooting” on page 143 and look for the problem symptom.
4. You might have to install a wrap connector on your active parallel, serial, or
Ethernet port to obtain accurate test results for these ports. If you do not have a wrap connector, contact your IBM reseller or IBM marketing representative.
5. You might need a scratch diskette to obtain accurate test results when testing the diskette drive.
6. The keyboard and mouse tests assume that a keyboard and mouse are attached to the server.
