POST error messages

The following table describes POST error messages that might appear on the system console if your appliance encounters errors while CFE initiates the hardware.

Note
Always power cycle your appliance when you receive any of the following errors. If the system repeats the error message, follow the corrective action for that error message.

Error message or code	Description	Corrective action
Memory init failure: Data segment does not compare at XXXX	XXXX denotes memory address. The CFE failed to initialize the system memory properly because there is a mismatch between the Compact Flash and the DRAM.	Make sure that the DIMM is supported. Make sure that the DIMM is seated properly. Replace the DIMM if the problem persists.
Unsupported system bus speed 0xXXXX defaulting to 1000Mhz	The CFE detects an unsupported DIMM.	Make sure that the DIMM is seated properly. Replace the DIMM if the problem still persists.
No Memory found	The CFE cannot detect the system DIMMs.	Make sure that the DIMM is seated properly and power cycle Replace the DIMM if the problem persists
Abort Autoboot-POST Failure(s): MEMORY	The memory test failed.	Make sure that DIMMs are seated properly, then power cycle. Replace the DIMM if the problem still persists.
Abort Autoboot-POST Failure(s): RTC, RTC_IO	The CFE cannot read the real-time clock (RTC_IO) or the RTC date is invalid (RTC).	Use set date and the set time command to set the time. Make sure that the RTC battery is still good.
Abort Autoboot-POST Failure(s): CPU	At least one CPU fails to startup properly.	Power cycle the system to see whether the problem still persists. Replace the motherboard tray if the problem persists.
Abort Autoboot-POST Failure(s): UCODE	At least one CPU fails to load the microcode.	Power cycle your system to see whether the problem still persists. Replace the motherboard tray if the problem persists.
Invalid FRU EEPROM Checksum	The system back plane or motherboard EEPROM is corrupted.	Call technical support
Autoboot of primary image aborted Autoboot of backup image aborted	Autoboot is stopped due to a key being pressed during the autoboot process.	Power cycle the system and avoid pressing any keys during the autoboot process.
Autoboot of Back up image failed Autoboot of primary image failed	The kernel could not be found on the CompactFlash.	Check the Compact Flash connection. Make sure the Compact Flash content is valid; if it is not, replace the CompactFlash. Follow the netboot procedure to download a new kernel.
