the
Ethernet
controller
are
on
the
Resource
CD.
Undetermined
problems
You
are
here
because
the
diagnostic
tests
did
not
identify
the
failure,
the
Devices
List
is
incorrect,
or
the
system
is
inoperative.
Notes:
1.
If
you
suspect
a
software
mismatch
is
causing
failures
(solid
or
intermittent),
be
sure
to
see
“Error
symptoms”
on
page
176.
2.
A
damaged
CMOS
can
cause
undetermined
problems.
3.
Damaged
SAL/EFI
code
can
cause
undetermined
problems.
See
“Recovering
SAL/EFI
code”
on
page
71.
Check
the
LEDs
on
all
the
power
supplies
(see
“Power
supply
LED
errors”
on
page
180).
If
the
LEDs
indicate
the
power
supplies
are
working
correctly,
return
here
and
do
the
following:
1.
Turn
off
the
server.
2.
Be
sure
the
system
is
cabled
correctly.
3.
Remove
or
disconnect
the
following
(one
at
a
time)
until
you
find
the
failure
(power-on
the
server
and
reconfigure
each
time).
v
Any
external
devices
v
Surge
suppressor
device
(on
the
server)
v
Modem,
printer,
mouse,
or
non-IBM
devices
v
Each
adapter
v
Hard
disk
drives
v
Memory
modules
(minimum
requirement
=
1
GB
(4
x
512
MB
DIMMs))
Note:
Minimum
operating
requirements
are:
a.
1
microprocessor
with
power
module
b.
4
x
512

DIMMs
c.
1
power
supply
d.
1
processor
board
e.
1
memory
board
f.
Midplane
board
g.
I/O
board
h.
PCI-X
board
4.
Turn
on
the
server.
If
the
problem
remains,
suspect
the
following
FRUs
in
the
order
listed:
v
Power
supply
v
Top
power
board
v
Processor
board
v
Memory
board
v
Midplane
board
v
PCI-X
board
v
I/O
board
Notes:
1.
If
the
problem
goes
away
when
you
remove
an
adapter
from
the
system,
and
replacing
that
adapter
does
not
correct
the
problem,
suspect
the
PCI-X
board.
2.
If
you
suspect
a
networking
problem
and
all
the
system
tests
pass,
suspect
a
network
cabling
problem
external
to
the
system.
