1.0 Error Code Information

1.1 Installation Errors

Software installation error codes have a four digit code added to the beginning of the code.
They appear in this manner:
000A0008
Detailed software installation logs are saved on the system hard disk drive. The error logs can
be downloaded through the GDUI utility and then used to examine software load errors. The
error logs may also be requested by technical support for error analysis.

Error Definition Corrective Action

0001 MO installation disk may be bad. Replace the MO disk.

0002 MO disk drive may be bad. Replace the MO disk drive.

0004 Possible SCSI device controller error. Replace the RM board.

0008 Possible hard disk error. Replace or format the hard drive.

0010 Firmware loading errors. Replace the defective board.

0020 Software error. Reinstall the software; replace the MO disk; or

replace the RM board.

0040 User error Train the user.

0080 RM board error. Replace the RM board.

0100 Error loading VM firmware. Replace the VM board.

0200 Unknown S/W installation error. Engineering analysis required.

1.2 Boards Corresponding to Error Codes for

Spurious Interrupts

Board IRQ Level Interrupt Code

SA 6 0x0020

DRO 2 0x0002

DRI 2 0x0002

EP 1 0x0001

FP0 3 0x0004

FP1 3 0x0004

TP 5 0x0010

IM 4 0x0008

SC 3 0x0004

IP 3 0x0004

RP 1 0x0001

VM 2 0x0002

VA 1 0x0001

AP 5 0x0010

The interrupt code is in hex with each bit corresponding to an interrupt IRQ level. If there
was more than one board giving a spurious interrupt then the code would be additive for the
bits that were related to the IRQ levels. As an example, a code of 0x0028 would correspond
to IRQ levels 4 and 6 indicating the possibility of a bad SA and IM board.

1.3 NVRAM Boot Flag Settings

Flag Value Flag Definition

0x00000 Boot from hard disk, no symbols loaded.

0x00200 Load software, do not start system operation.

0x01000 Boot from NVRAM parameters.

0x02000 Default setting, load operational software with global symbols

0x04000 Boot system for diagnostics only.

0x10000 Disable POST.

NOTICE These values can be entered into the Boot Flag parameter through the VxWorks console using the
bootChange command or through the DUI.

NOTICE The flag value is additive in hex. As an example, if you wish to boot up diagnostics only and not load
all symbols, you would insert 0x06000 in the Boot Flag parameter.

SONOLINE Elegra Ultrasound Imaging System - Error Messages
Notes
Level sensitive interrupt.
Multiple interrupts will be
generated if interrupt is
enabled before fault is
cleared.
This interrupt is not imple-
mented. It is taken care of
through the Thermal Over-
load interrupt. See Power
Supply Thermal Overload
Fault.
If a thermal overload failure
occurs, the power supply
will automatically shut down
if the temperature continues
to climb. There is a mini-
mum range of 5 to a maxi-
mum of 30 degrees C rise
before the Power Supply will
automatically shut down.
The system should be shut
down and reset with a power
up sequence.
