Hi All,

I have been looking for a service manual for a 7024. The machine is not
booting and my diagnostic info for multiple bus systems book refers me to
look up the Firmware Checkpoint Three Digit Error Code section of the
service manual. The Code I am getting is "FFE" every time I try to
boot the system.

Your documentation can be found here:

http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/pseries/v5r3/index.jsp

On the right side, you will see pSeries Hardware topic. Click that and go
to 'Select by system' You will see the 7024 listed there. Service and
users manuals in PDF.


Can anyone tell me what that code is?

FFE is a checkpoint condition 'No boot - Critical error(s) reported by IPL ROS
or "F1" key pressed.

cheers,
