This is a processor dependent hardware error

FLT 3x00 FEPROM checksum failure

where x is the processor number

Call HP, get them to replace the board if it is under warranty.

Be advised, this interpretation is from a K-class manual, but I don't think they changed it for the D-class.

FLT tells you that your have a system fault and the system has halted. The 3000 gives you more info:
3x00 tells you it's FEPROM and the x tells you the processor memory bus slot #. These are processor dependent hardware codes - so this is telling you it's probably got a hardware problem.
Here's a thread...look way down and you'll see a chart that explains these codes:

You need to call HP...

Hi,

bad news,

FLT 3000 means: FEPROM checksum failure

This message comes from: Major Code Category 3: Processor Dependent Hardware (PDH) Codes

Think you have to contact HP.

As Paul mentioned...I believe these codes are applicable to K and D boxes..

..at least when I've seen similar codes, I have used the same chart (I have D and K boxes) and supplied HP with the same info.
