Solving undetermined problems

If the diagnostic tests did not diagnose the failure or if the server is inoperative, use the information in this section.

If you suspect that a software problem is causing failures (continuous or intermittent), see “Software problems” on page 140.

Damaged data in CMOS memory or damaged firmware can cause undetermined problems. To reset the CMOS data, use the password switch 2 (SW4) to override the power-on password and clear the CMOS memory; see “System-board switches and jumpers” on page 21.

Check the LEDs on all the power supplies (see “Power-supply LEDs” on page 24). If the LEDs indicate that the power supplies are working correctly, do the following:

1.Turn off the server.

2.Make sure that the server is cabled correctly.

3.Remove or disconnect the following devices, one at a time, until you find the failure. Turn on the server and reconfigure it each time.

v Any external devices.

vSurge-suppressor device (on the server).

vModem, printer, mouse, and non-Lenovo devices.

vEach adapter.

vHard disk drives.

vMemory modules. The minimum configuration requirement is 1 GB DIMM per microprocessor (2 GB in a two-microprocessor configuration).

The following minimum configuration is required for the server to start:

vOne microprocessor

vOne 1 GB DIMM

vOne power supply

vPower cord

vServeRAID SAS adapter

vSystem board assembly

4.Turn on the server. If the problem remains, suspect the following components in the following order:

a.Power supply

b.Power-supply cage

c.Memory

d.Microprocessor

e.System board

If the problem is solved when you remove an adapter from the server but the problem recurs when you reinstall the same adapter, suspect the adapter; if the problem recurs when you replace the adapter with a different one, suspect the system board or extender card.

If you suspect a networking problem and the server passes all the system tests, suspect a network cabling problem that is external to the server.

Event logs

Error codes and messages are displayed in the following types of event logs:

vPOST event log: This log contains the three most recent error codes and messages that were generated during POST. You can view the POST event log through the Setup Utility.
