RE: Problem with an AS/400 250

Did you verify that it was not set to D IPL?  It should be A-N or
(preferably) B-N.  Also make sure that there isn't a cd in the CD-ROM.

subject: Problem with an AS/400 250

Hi Folks,

Posted a note the other day on this but figured a new subject line would
be more appropriate.

Had a friend call and a software development company he used to work for
had called him. They had taken a 250 out of storage (and it had been
moved to several different buildings and floors) and fired it up and got
B 1014507.

I searched around on IBM's web site and found some information and I
went over there today. I made sure there was no tape in the tape drive
and that the IPL mode was set to normal and IPL'd and got the same
thing. I powered down and removed the cover and made sure that
everything was seated good (since it had been moved) and fired it back
up and got the SAME thing. It is off of maintenance and has been in
storage for 3 or 4 years.

Any ideas on what's going on ?
 
Thanks !

Chuck
