There's a list of error codes on IBM's website:

http://publib16.boulder.ibm.com/pseries/en_US/infocenter/base/hardware_docs/pdf/a4af5bas.pdf

You need to read the error message that the flashing "888" gives you, by 
pressing the reset button and writing down each set of new numbers 
until the error code repeats itself.  Instructions on how to do that 
are in the above PDF.
