If
you
suspect
that
the

is
damaged,
see
“Recovering
the
BIOS
code”
on
page

Check
the
LEDs
on
all
the
power
supplies
(see

are
working
correctly,
complete
the
following
steps:
1.
Turn
off
the
server.
2.
Be
sure
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
each
time):
v
Any
external
devices
v
Surge
suppressor
device
(on
the
server)
v
Modem,
printer,
mouse,
or
non-IBM

v
Memory
modules
(minimum

=
two
256
MB
DIMMs)
Note:
Minimum
operating
requirements
are:
a.
One
power
supply
b.
System
board
with
functioning
integrated
VRD
c.
One
microprocessor
d.
Memory
module
(with
a
minimum
of
two
256
MB
DIMMs)
4.
Turn
on
the
server.
If
the
problem
remains,
suspect
the
following
FRUs
in
the
order
listed:
v
Power
supply
v
System
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
system
board.
2.
If
you
suspect
a
networking
problem
and
all
the
system
tests
pass,
suspect
a
network
cabling
problem
external
to
the
system.
