POST beep code descriptions Beep codes are sounded in a series of long and short beeps. The possible types of beep codes that your server might emit include the following: No beeps If no beep occurs after your server completes POST (that is, after the system POST complete (OK) light on the operator information panel is illuminated), call for service.
The POST error log contains the three most recent error codes and messages that the system generated during POST. The System Event/Error Log contains all error messages issued during POST and all system status messages from the IBM remote supervisor adapter, if installed.
Diagnostic programs and error messages Diagnostic error messages indicate that a problem exists; they are not intended to be used to identify a failing part. Troubleshooting and servicing of complex problems that are indicated by error messages should be performed by trained service personnel.
Diagnostic programs and error messages Warning This result occurs when a possible problem is reported during the diagnostic test, such as when a device that is to be tested is not installed. Test Specific String This is additional information that you can use to analyze the problem. Starting the diagnostic programs You can press F1 while running the diagnostic programs to obtain Help information.

Installing internal drives Installing internal drives Different types of drives enable your system to read multiple types of media and store more data. Several types of drives are available, such as: v Diskette (already installed) v Hard disk v CD-ROM (already installed) v Tape, including DLT Internal drive bays Internal drives are installed in bays.
Page 61
If you are installing a SCSI device with a 50-pin connector in one of the empty non-hot-swap bays (bays A–B), you need a 68-pin to 50-pin converter. To order the converter, contact your IBM reseller or IBM marketing representative. Note: The server electromagnetic interference (EMI) integrity and cooling are both protected by having bays A and B covered or occupied.
Page 62
Installing internal drives Preinstallation steps (all bays) Before you install drives in your server, verify that you have all the cables and any other equipment specified in the documentation that comes with the internal drive. You might also need to perform certain preinstallation activities. Some of the steps are required only during the initial installation of an option.

Because you set this priority at the host or entry point of the network, the network devices can base forwarding decisions on priority information defined in the packet. Priority Packet information is available on the IBM Networking Web site at: http://www.ibm.com/networking/support. Priority Packet prioritizes traffic based on priority filters. These are parameters you assign to outgoing (transmit) packets.
