Hello,everyone,

I have a IBM rs/6000 7013-59H,that is old than ten years. In recent days,I want to boot it to test some projects,some problem are happend with the box.
First , I plug the power cable to the plug,and put the power on,the LED are display 200. I can't find any useful ideal about it so I reply power on and turn the key to service position. Well ,it looks succesfull that LED is rapidly changed .In the end ,the LED shutdown and the character terminal is display such as " /usr/bin/cp is not defined /etc/rc.tcpip is not defined ..... system error " then the box is hang .

I think maybe the operation system is coruupt and the box must be install operation system. I turn off the power and plug off the power,check the hard disk carefullly, replug the scsi cable ,and turn on. But disastor happened when I turn power on,the fan is not run anyway and then led display 004. I turn the key to normal position and power it on the led display 006.
what can I do the next step? the cd-rom is bad and can not read media.
Any information is welcome
 
Well, on those ancient machines: "200" in the 3LED display means the keylock is in the "locked" position. The server won't go any further until the key is turned to "normal" or "service". For normal boot, turn the key to "normal", for diagnostics mode boot, turn key to "service"


HTH,
