Intermittent Problems

Intermittent system hang problems can be caused variety of reasons that have nothing to do with defect, such as: cosmic radiation, electrostatic or software errors. FRU replacement should be considered only when a recurring problem exists.

When analyzing an intermittent problem, do the follo

1. Run the advanced diagnostic test for the s board in loop modeat least 10 times.

2.If no error is detected,not replacedoany FRUs.

3.If any error is detected, replace the FR the FRU code. Rerun the test to verify tha errors exist.

Undetermined Problems

You are here because the diagnostic tests did which adapter or device failed, installed device incorrect, a short circuit is suspected, or the inoperative. Follow these procedures to isolate th FRU (do not isolate nondefective FRUs).
