About Your System 25
LCD Status Messages (Optional)
The system's control panel LCD provides status messages to signify when the
system is operating correctly or when the system needs attention.
The LCD lights blue to indicate a normal operating condition, and lights
amber to indicate an error condition. The LCD scrolls a message that
includes a status code followed by descriptive text. The table that follows
provides a listing of LCD status messages and the probable cause for each
message. The LCD messages refer to events recorded in the System Event
Log (SEL). For information on the SEL and configuring system management
settings, see the systems management software documentation.
NOTE: If your system fails to boot, press the System ID button for at least five
seconds until an error code appears on the LCD. Record the code, then see "Getting
Help" on page 169.
