LCD Status Messages

The system's bezel indicator can denote when the system is operating correctly or when the system needs attention. When the bezel indicator denotes an error condition, open the bezel to see further information provided by the LCD.

The LCD can display two lines of alphanumeric characters. The display codes are presented in two color combinations:

White characters on a blue background — Information only; no action is required.

Amber characters on a black background — The system needs attention.

Below is listed the LCD status messages that can occur 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 on the documentation CD that shipped with the system.

Solving Problems Described by LCD Status Messages

When a single message appears on the LCD, locate the code in below and perform the suggested corrective action. The code on the LCD can often specify a very precise fault condition that is easily remedied. For example, if the code E0280 MISSING VRM 2 appears, you know that a microprocessor is installed in socket 2, but the VRM for that microprocessor is either improperly installed or missing.

In contrast, 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 deduce 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 will display the fault; when the temperature returns to the acceptable range, the message is removed from the LCD display. For other faults, you must take some 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.
Chassis intrusion — When you remove the cover, the system assumes that you are servicing the system; the LCD clears when you replace the cover.
Power cycle — Turn off the system and disconnect it from the electrical outlet; wait approximately 10 seconds, and then connect the power cable and restart the system.

Any of these actions will remove fault messages and return the status indicators and LCD colors to the normal state. Messages will reappear under the following conditions:

The sensor returns to a normal state but fails again, resulting in a new SEL entry.
The system is reset and new error events are detected.
A failure is recorded from another source that maps to the same LCD message.
