POST message Description229 An error was detected in the L2 cache of one of the microprocessors.Action:1. If you just installed a microprocessor, verify that the microprocessor is installedand seated correctly.2. If the problem persists, check to see if the system has isolated the problem to amicroprocessor: If the System Error light on the operator information panel is on, check tosee if the CPU LED on the diagnostic LED panel is on. If it is on, check theMicroprocessor Error LEDs next to the microprocessor sockets on theprocessor board (see “Processor-board component locations” on page 101).– If a Microprocessor LED is on, run the diagnostic program for themicroprocessor indicated by the LED. (If the Secondary MicroprocessorError LED is on, run the “Alt CPU” diagnostic program.) If the tests fail,replace the microprocessor.– If the microprocessor tests do not fail, have the system serviced. If no error LED is on, the error logs in the Configuration/Setup Utilityprogram might provide additional information on the microprocessor error.If the problem persists, have the system serviced.289 An error occurred during POST memory tests and a failing DIMM was disabled.Note: The server can be used with decreased memory.Action:1. If you just installed memory, see “Installing memory-module kits” on page 65 toverify that the new memory is correct for your server. Verify that the memorymodules are installed and seated correctly. Start the Configuration/Setup Utilityprogram (see Chapter 3, “Configuring your server”). In the Advanced Setupmenu, select Memory Settings and enable the DIMM. (See “Advanced Setup”on page 27.)2. If the problem persists, replace the failing DIMM.If the problem persists, have the system serviced.301303An error occurred during the keyboard and keyboard controller test. These errormessages also might be accompanied by continuous beeping.Action: Ensure that:1. Nothing is resting on the keyboard and pressing a key.2. No key is stuck.3. The keyboard cable is connected correctly to the keyboard and to the correctconnector on the server.Running the diagnostic tests can isolate the server component that failed, but youmust have your system serviced. If the error message remains, have the keyboard,cable, and system serviced.Note: If you have just connected a new mouse or other pointing device, turn offthe server and disconnect that device. Wait at least five seconds, and then,turn on the server. If the error message goes away, replace the device.602 Invalid diskette boot recordAction:1. Replace the diskette.2. If the problem persists, make sure that the diskette drive cables are correctlyand securely connected.3. If the problem persists, replace the diskette drive.If the problem persists, have the system serviced.604 An error occurred during a diskette drive test.Action:1. Verify that the Configuration/Setup Utility program correctly reflects the type ofdiskette drive that you have installed.2. Run the diagnostic tests. If the diagnostic tests fail, have the system serviced.116 IBM xSeries User's Reference
