IBM Type 8677, Type 1881 manual Symptom-to-FRU index, Error symptoms

Chapter 6. Symptom-to-FRU index

This index supports the BladeCenter Type 8677 and 1881.

Notes:

1.Check the configuration before you replace a FRU. Configuration problems can cause false errors and symptoms.

2.For IBM devices not supported by this index, refer to the manual for that device.

3.Blade modules (I/O, management, power) and blowers must be replaced during service within two minutes.

The symptom-to-FRU index lists symptoms, errors, and the possible causes. The most likely cause is listed first. Use this symptom-to-FRU index to help you decide which FRUs to have available when servicing the system.

The left-hand column of the tables in this index lists error codes or messages, and the right-hand column lists one or more suggested actions or FRUs to replace.

Note: In tables with more than two columns, multiple columns are required to describe the error symptoms.

Take the action (or replace the FRU) suggested first in the list of the right-hand column, then try the server again to see if the problem has been corrected before taking further action.

Note: Try reseating a suspected component or reconnecting a cable before replacing the component.

1.Remove the option that you just added.

2.Run the diagnostic tests to determine if your system is running correctly.
