Procedure #2: Check the Computer Status Codes
The section below assumes your computer is not running the self test. For information on the status
codes you can see when running the self test, refer to "Procedure #5: Self Test." For more information on
the status codes mentioned below, refer to Chapter 8.
Look at the front panel Status Display. As the computer boots, a series of status codes appears on the
display in rapid succession. None of the codes should remain on the display longer than a second or two.
When the computer finishes booting, or stops during the boot process, find the status code display in the
following table:
Code Meaning and Action to Take
0 Normal. No problem was found in this procedure. Return to the current procedure or
continue with the next procedure on your checklist.
4 The computer ran out of queue blocks. Allocate more queue blocks in the system
initialization command file.
10, 11,
or 12
The computer could not find either AM318.IDV in [1,6], or the terminal driver in
[1,6], or the system initialization command file in [1,4].
20, 21,
22, or
2E
The computer did not boot because of a problem with the boot PROM. Perform
"Procedure #6: Alternate Boot." If the computer does not come up correctly,
something serious may be wrong. Call your VAR for help. Stop.
25 or
35
The computer could not find the User File Directory (UFD) in account [1,2] on the
boot device. There could be a problem with your boot device; contact your VAR for
help.
23, 2F,
33, or
3F
The boot device may not be set correctly. Verify the primary and alternate boot
devices and unit numbers in the CMOS Menu—refer to the instructions on page 3-2.
Perform "Procedure #3: Power-up/Reset." If the computer does not boot normally,
call your VAR. Stop.
24 - 28
or
34 - 39
Your System Disk might be the source of the problem. Perform "Procedure #6:
Alternate Boot." If the computer boots correctly, the System Disk is probably the
problem; if it does not, something more serious may be wrong. In either case, call
your VAR for help. Stop.
29 The computer is searching for a label on the warm boot tape it is booting from. If this
status code remains for more than a minute or so, make sure the correct tape is in the
drive. If you have a known good warm boot tape in the drive, and the computer will
not boot from it, contact your VAR for help. Stop.
2A,
2b,
3A, or
3b
The computer is having a problem loading or executing the system monitor program.
Perform "Procedure #6: Alternate Boot." If the computer boots correctly from the
alternate device, there may be a problem with the files on your System Disk. If it does
not boot, something more serious may be wrong. In either case, contact your VAR for
help. Stop.
2d or
3d
The computer has encountered an error, perhaps due to faulty memory or addressing.
Perform "Procedure #5: Self Test." If your computer does not pass the self test, call
your VAR with the information from the test. Stop.
