RE: 9406 Boot error

Does the system have a front panel system key?   And look up the steps
to clear the cache memory from the front panel... I had that issue a few
months ago and that's what it took to clear the registers.
Unfortunately I don't have the key pad steps here with me today as they
are with the box, 30 miles away.

Good luck,

Subject: 9406 Boot error

Hello

I have just joined the list and know nothing about IBM midrange
machines.  I am currently trying to get a pre iSeries IBM type:9406
machine to boot.  It was running fine for years but after a power
failure refuses to boot.  The initial power comes on and the
Function/Data display stays on 01 B with the boot mode set to Auto.
When I press the white start button, the orange light above what looks
like a lightning bolt comes comes on and the Function/Data display shows
11 and a black square.  The screen display shows only the cursor in the
top right corner and no keystrokes are accepted.  Usually after pressing
the white button, the machine becomes noisier (extra fans/power supplies
coming on??) but now it stays quiet with only what sounds like the first
power supply working.
My question:  Is this machine fried and how can I check to fix it?

Thanks
Philip
