Ethernet Subsystem Error Messages



  Ethernet Subsystem Error Messages

NOTE:
  1.  The following error messages may be displayed if 'Network' is selected  in the startup sequence of the Configuration/Setup Utility program.
  2.  The following error messages are available only with the integrated Ethernet subsystem.  These error messages are not available when RPL (remote program load) or DHCP (dynamic host  configuration protocol) is used through optional network adapters.


RPL-Related Error Messages

If a failure condition occurs after the Ethernet controller is initialized, an error message appears on the screen.

The two most common error messages are:

       RPL-ROM-ERR:  105
       The integrated Ethernet failed the loopback test.
       RPL-ROM-ERR:  107
       Media test failed; check the cable.


Error 105 indicates that a power-on diagnostic test performed by the Ethernet module did not execute correctly. If this error message appears, you must have the server serviced.
Error 107 indicates that the cable from the LAN is not securely connected to the Ethernet port on the computer. Check the cable to ensure that it is properly connected.

The following list contains other error codes that might occur, followed by a description of the error code.


NOTE: An x value that follows an error code represents any alphanumeric character.
