Condition report format
Each condition report identifies the element affected (type and number), and the primary problem (the
error code). Appendix B: EMU Generated Condition Reports provides detailed information about each
condition report, and includes recommended corrective actions.
• Element Type
This two-digit hexadecimal display defines the element type reporting the problem. The format for this
display is e.t. with a period after each character. Codes 0.1. through F.F. are valid element types.
• Element Number
The second display is a two-digit decimal number that defines the element reporting the problem. The
format for this display is en. with a period after the second character.
• Error Code
The third display is a two-digit decimal number that defines the specific error code. The format for
this display is ec without any periods.
Navigating the error display
An active error changes the alphanumeric display to Er and activates the error menu. The push-button
functions are now dedicated to error displays.
For example, should the following conditions exist:
• There is a high temperature CRITICAL condition for the disk drive in bay 9.
• There is a EMU NVRAM write failure NONCRITICAL condition.
As soon as one of these conditions is reported the alphanumeric display is Er, the top push-button LED is
On, and the audible alarm is beeping three times per cycle.
Complete the following procedure to analyze the disk drive condition report.
1. To move from the error display to the element type, press and hold the top push-button until the
element type is displayed.
NOTE:
The display will first move to the element type display, then to the element number, then to
the error code.
2. Release the top push-button when the element type is displayed. The display has both decimal
points lit.
3. Press and release the top push-button again to move to the element number. This display has only the
right decimal point lt.
4. Press and release the top button again to move to the error code. This display has no decimal points
lit. Repeated press/release operations will cycle through these three values.
5. Press and hold the top push-button from any of the three display states in step 3 to move to the
element type for a new alarm.
6. Additional press/release operations cycle through the element type, element number, and error code.
NOTE:
Pressing and releasing the bottom push-button allows you to move from the element type
display, the element number display, or the error code display directly to the Er display.
