HP MaxiLife Test Sequence and Error Messages
The following table shows the test sequence carried out, the type of error
message, and the action to take.
Table 1 Basic Pre-boot Diagnostics
Test Error Code Action to Take
Presence of a processor in the BOOT PROC [1]
processor slot. This is test is for a single
processor system only.
NO CPU 1 • Check that the processor is correctly installed in the BOOT
PROC [1] slot.
Presence of either CPU or Terminator in the
processor slot.
CPU SOCKET • Check CPUs and Terminator and VRM of installed processor.
Number of installed DIMMs NO RAM • Check that the memory module is correctly installed in the
memory socket.
Control of some voltages: VRMs, 12V POWER SUPPLY • Check the power supply connectors, VRM, CPU. In a single
processor system, check that the VRM is not plugged into the
terminator socket.
The error message could also show: Power CPU1 and Power
CPU2.
Test of the correct power signals to the CPU.
The power supply may be OK, whereas the VRM
is not.
POWER • Check that the VRM, processor and terminator are correctly
installed.
• Check that the VRM is not plugged on a socket with a
terminator (this could be the likely cause).
• Check or replace the VRM.
• Check the power supply unit connectors.
Presence of VRMs and their associated
processor.
POWER CPU • Check that the VRMs are correctly installed in their VRM
sockets.
POWER CPU 1 - Check VRMs sockets 1 and 2.
POWER CPU 2 - Check VRM socket 3.
POWER CACHE - Check VRM socket 2.
Presence of a VRM in VRM socket 2. This test is
for both single and dual processor systems.
POWER CACHE • Check that the VRM is correctly installed in VRM socket 2.
Check the system board clock generators (PLL). BOARD PLL • Check the power supply connector.
• Replace the system board (PLL clock generator).
Compatibility of DIMMs. The BIOS checks that
the inserted DIMMs are both compatible with
one another, and compatible with the Front Side
Bus frequency.
RAM TYPE • Check the installed memory modules. This error occurs when
mixing incompatible memory modules, or when mixing
Unbuffered and Registered memory modules.
