182 Reference and Troubleshooting Guide
Controller Is Not Configured
Description: Controller is not configured. If the controller was previously
configured and you change drive locations, there may be a problem with
placement of the drives. ADU examines each physical drive and looks for drives
that have been moved to a different drive bay.
Action: Look for messages indicating which drives have been moved. If none are
displayed and drive swapping did not occur, run ACU to configure the controller
and server setup utility to configure NVRAM. Do not run either utility if you
believe drive swapping has occurred.
Controller Reported POST Error. Error Code: X
Description: The controller returned an error from its internal POST.
Action: Replace the controller.
Controller Restarted with a Signature of Zero
Description: ADU did not find a valid configuration signature to use to get the
data. NVRAM may not be present (unconfigured) or the signature present in
NVRAM may not match the signature on the controller.
Action: Run the server setup utility to configure the controller and NVRAM.
Disable Command Issued
Description: The issuing of the Accelerator Disable command has disabled
posted-writes. This occurred because of an operating system device driver.
Action: Restart the system. Run ACU to reinitialize the array accelerator board.
