System: IBM Netfinity dual 450's raid 512 ram OS win 2k adv server
Overview: system has been working flawless until something goes bump in the middle of the night...!
Problem: Noticed erro led (Exclamation mark one) nothing else out of the ordinary. Rebooted system, started off with several POST errors, 062, three consecutive boot fails, 162 confg has changed and 164 memory.
I pulled the cover off and looked at the system board leds, only one on was NMI error. reseated the memory, may have cleared the 164 out.
Reviewed the IBM error codes etc and tried various corrective measures. replaced battery, pulled out cards etc but to no avail. Attempted BIOS recovery via switch 5...
pulled processors etc
During POST, system boots (no beep) PS lights are ok check memory ok, continiously receive error 162 config has changed, then goes to a NMI error ocurred at, if left alone, the system will reboot and repeat the errors. indicated see system log etc..
I'm at a total loss as to where to go/look at now as can't get into the setup via F1 or anthing. Somewhere I remeber that one can access the logs via null modem but?? don't think bios cmos can be cleared out on this system? Would love to get into the system log as well to help pinpoint..
Would appreciate any direction on what to try...
thanks
