Solving Problems Described by LCD Status Messages

The code and text on the LCD can often specify a very precise fault condition

that is easily corrected. For example, if the code E1418

CPU_1_Presence

appears, you know that a processor is not installed in socket 1.
You might be able to determine the problem if multiple related errors occur.

For example, if you receive a series of messages indicating multiple voltage

faults, you might determine that the problem is a failing power supply.

Removing LCD Status Messages

For faults associated with sensors, such as temperature, voltage, fans, and so

on, the LCD message is automatically removed when that sensor returns to a

normal state. For example, if temperature for a component goes out of range,

the LCD displays the fault; when the temperature returns to the acceptable

range, the message is removed from the LCD. For other faults, you must take

action to remove the message from the display:

• Clear the SEL—You can perform this task remotely, but you will lose the

event history for the system.

• Power cycle—Turn off the system and disconnect it from the electrical

outlet; wait approximately ten seconds, reconnect the power cable,

and restart the system.

configuration.

The system configuration

requires more power

than what the power

supply can provide,

but it can boot if

throttled.

Turn off power to the

system, reduce the

hardware configuration or

install higher-wattage

power supplies, and then

restart the system.
