Reading the I/O Drawer Operator Panel Display

The operator panel display is used to:

Track the progress of the system unit self tests and configuration program.

Display codes when the operating system comes to an abnormal end.

Display system messages.

Checkpoints

During power-on self-test (POST), four-digit checkpoints are displayed indicating the
progress of the testing. If an error is detected that requires attention, the system unit
halts with an eight-digit error code displayed in the upper row of the operator panel
display, starting in the leftmost position. This eight-digit error code identifies the error
(see

RS/6000 Enterprise Server Model H80 Series Service Guide for a listing of the

error codes).

The four-digit checkpoints are in the form of

nnnn

, where

n

is an alphabetic or

numeric character.
