xSeries 206 Type 8482 and 8487: Hardware Maintenance Manual and Troubleshooting Guide
Note: The system-error log is available on the xSeries 206 server only when
the server contains an optional Remote Supervisor Adapter II.
001
IS THE SERVER PART OF A CLUSTER?
YES. Schedule maintenance for the server. Shut down all servers related to
the cluster. Run the storage test.
NO. Go to step 002 .
002
IF THE SERVER IS NOT PART OF A CLUSTER:
If the operating system is running, complete the following steps:
1. Check the system board for LEDs (see "Diagnostic LEDs" on page 19).
2. If the xSeries 206 server has an optional Remote Supervisor Adapter II,
check the service processor system-error logs:
a. If the system-error log indicates a damaged field replaceable unit
(FRU), replace the FRU, and run the diagnostic programs to confirm
that the problem has been solved.
b. If the system-error log does not indicate a damaged FRU, see "Error
symptoms" on page 86 and "Undetermined problems" on page 97.
If the operating system is not running, complete the following steps:
1. Check the system board for LEDs (see "Diagnostic LEDs" on page 19).
2. If the xSeries 206 server has an optional Remote Supervisor Adapter II,
check the service processor system-error logs:
a. If the system-error log indicates a damaged field replaceable unit
(FRU), replace the FRU, and run the diagnostic programs to confirm
that the problem has been solved.
b. If the error log does not indicate a damaged FRU, check the
operating-system event logs; if these logs do not specify a particular
error, go to step 3.
3. Turn off the server and all external devices.
4. Check all cables and power cords.
5. Set all display controls to the middle position.
6. Turn on all external devices.
7. Turn on the server.
8. Watch the screen and the serial port for POST errors, and record any
POST error messages that are displayed on the screen. If an error is
displayed, look up the first error (see "POST error codes" on page 80).
9. Run the diagnostic programs (see "Starting the diagnostic programs and
viewing the test log" on page 17).
003
DID THE DIAGNOSTIC PROGRAMS START ?
NO. Find the failure symptom in "Error symptoms" on page 86.
YES. Run the diagnostic programs (see "Starting the diagnostic programs
and viewing the test log" on page 17).
If you receive an error, see Chapter 7, "Symptom-to-FRU index," on page
77.
If the diagnostics were completed successfully and you still suspect a
problem, see "Undetermined problems" on page 97.
If the server does not turn on, see "Error symptoms" on page 86.
