Map 0210: Intermittent Failures - IBM V03 Maintenance Information

MAP 0210: Intermittent failures

Symptom explanation
Intermittent Failures
General information
All possible indications and symptoms should be recorded to aid you in using this MAP. System error logs, when
available, aid in identifying intermittent problems. Obtain all information concerning the failure from operator
system aids and information:
v Error/Status codes - displayed on operator panel
v System error log - host system information
v Online problem - operator identified
v System identified problem
v Power on failure - cold start
v Long run - time failures - hot, overheated
An online program can be used to find intermittent failures. Ask the operator to run the failing job for you to
observe, if possible.
Model V03 generates Error Logs and Usage Metrics
For information about error logs and usage metrics (see Printing and clearing the error log, and printing the usage
metrics).
Power
Intermittent problems may be caused by out of range voltages. Check the voltages by following the procedures in
MAP 0150: Power supply.
Suspected FRUs/causes
Loose connectors
ESD grounds
Damaged wires
