Ethernet error messages
The error messages listed in this section apply only to models with a
preinstalled Ethernet adapter or riser card.
If a failure condition occurs after the Ethernet controller is initialized, an error
message appears on the screen. The error messages that can occur are shown
below. If you experience any error related to the Ethernet adapter, record the
error message, and tell your network administrator about the problem.
RPL-related error messages
These error messages are specific to the Ethernet adapter and the RPL
environment of your computer.
The two most common error messages are shown below.
RPL-ROM-ERR: 105 The integrated Ethernet failed the loopback test.
RPL-ROM-ERR: 107 Media test failed; check the cable.
Error 105 indicates that a power-on diagnostic test performed by the Ethernet
module did not execute correctly. If this error message appears, you must have
the computer serviced. Error 107 indicates that the cable from the LAN is not
securely connected to the Ethernet port on your computer. Check the cable to
ensure that it is properly connected.
Other error messages that might occur are shown in the following table.
RPL-ROM-ERR: 100 The Ethernet adapter cannot be found.
RPL-ROM-ERR: 101 The Ethernet adapter was unable to initialize.
RPL-ROM-ERR: 102 The Ethernet adapter could not be reset.
