power-on and power-off sequencing.

1. If the LED flashes at 1Hz, it is

 

 

 

 

functioning properly and no

 

 

action is necessary.

 

 

2. If the LED is not flashing, (trained

 

 

service technician only) replace

 

 

the system board.

 

 

 

IMM heartbeat

IMM heartbeat boot process.

The following steps describe the

 

 

different stages of the IMM heartbeat

 

 

sequencing process.

 

 

1. When this LED is flashing fast

 

 

(approximately 4Hz), the IMM

 

 

code is in the loading process.

 

 

2. When this LED goes off

 

 

momentarily, this indicates that

 

 

the IMM code has loaded

 

 

completely.

 

 

3. When this LED goes off

 

 

momentarily and then starts

 

 

flashing slowing (approximately

 

 

1Hz), theIMM is fully operational.

 

 

You can now press the

 

 

power-control button to power-on

 

 

the server.

 

 

4. If this LED does not flash within

 

 

30 seconds of connecting a power

 

 

flash to the server, complete the

 

 

following steps:

 

 

a.

(Trained service technician

 

 

 

only) Use the IMM recovery

 

 

 

jumper to recover the

 

 

 

firmware (see Table 6 on page

 

 

 

111).

 

 

b.

(Trained service technician

 

 

 

only) Replace the system

 

 

 

board.

 

 

 

 

Diagnostic programs and messages

The diagnostic programs are the primary method of testing the major components of the server. As you run the diagnostic programs, text messages are displayed on the screen and are saved in the test log. A diagnostic text message indicates that a problem has been detected and provides the action you should take as a result of the text message.

Make sure that the server has the latest version of the diagnostic programs. To download the latest version, complete the following steps.

Note: Changes are made periodically to the Lenovo Web site. The actual procedure might vary slightly from what is described in this document.
