Power checkout
Power problems can be difficult to troubleshoot. For instance, a short circuit can exist anywhere on any of the power distribution busses. Usually a short circuit will cause the power subsystem to shut down because of an overcurrent condition.
A general procedure for troubleshooting power problems is as follows:
1.Power off the system and disconnect the AC cord(s). Disconnect all external cables and remove server from the rack.
Note: To determine if the power switch assembly needs to be replaced turn on microswitch 5 on switch block 1
2.Check for loose cables in the power subsystem. Also check for short circuits, for instance if there is a loose screw causing a short circuit on a circuit board.
3.Remove adapters and disconnect the cables and power connectors to all internal and external devices until system is at minimum configuration required for
Note: Minimum configuration requirements are:
a.1 Power supply
b.System board
c.1 Microprocessor
d.1 Terminator card
e.Memory module (with a minimum of 128 MB DIMM)
4.Reconnect the AC cord and power on the system. If the system powers up successfully, replace adapters and devices one at a time until the problem is
