Troubleshooting System Hardware Faults
The Chassis Major Code Category (refer to Table 3-4) is basically the same for all D
Class and R Class Models and CPU types. The Chassis Major Code Category is the first
digit in the four digit chassis code. Within the specific models a particular Chassis Code
may have slightly different meanings for the same code number. The faults listed in
Table 3-5 occur before the operating system is launched. This is during the power-up
selftests and system initialization processes.
