01wx AyF8
MESSAGE
Boot Error: First display.
Boot Error: Second display.
Boot from Primary Path (Y or N)?>
CAUSE
IPL checksum fails. The utility (or ISL) being read
from tape is possibly corrupted.
ACTION
Try using the utility from another tape, such as from the master
backup. If problem persists, contact your Hewlett-Packard
Support Representative and boot from the system disk.
When the system halts, the reason for the halt can be seen on the SPU control
panel status display (hex display). The first number is the source of the halt
call, and following it are numbers of the form 0nxx where n
is a number that starts at 1 and increments. The reason can be interpreted by
stringing the xx values together to form a number.
When the monitor is the source of the halt, the first number is B000. System
abort uses B007. The following codes relate the cause of the error.

ISL sends messages both to the system console and to the four-digit
front panel LED display. The codes that can be generated by ISL
are listed in table 1-3.
Codes CE00 - CE09 are informative messages only.
Codes CE10 - CE27 indicate an error.
A nonfatal error causes ISL to issue a message. During autoboot,
a nonfatal error causes the autoboot to abort and ISL prompts for
input, just as if the autoboot had been interrupted through a console
request within the first 10 seconds.
A fatal error stops the system and lights the front panel
red self-test light. You are required to correct the problem indicated
before rebooting the system.
See the note that follows the explanation of the individual
codes for more information on particular codes.
