L1 Controller Error Messages
007-4701-003 127
Under certain circumstances a system software or hardware error can occur prior to the
graphics console's ability to display information. In this case you can see the error only
on the L1 controller panel or from an optional system console connected to the Console
serial port on the back of the system. In these cases an error message is displayed on the
L1 display of the form
<geoid> ERR <error code> or <geoid> POD <error code>. Most of the
time, these errors indicate a serious problem and customer service should be called
(please provide the error code to the service representative). See Table 5-3 for a partial list
of the L1 Hexadecimal boot error codes.
