Automated Service Request (Call Home); Electronic Service Agent; Error Messages - Lenovo x3650 M5 Installation And Service Manual

A single problem might cause more than one error message. When this happens, correct the cause of the
first error message. The other error messages usually will not occur the next time you run the diagnostic
programs.
If the server stops during testing and you cannot continue, restart the server and try running the DSA
Preboot diagnostic programs again. If the problem remains, replace the component that was being tested
when the server stopped.

A diagnostic text message contains one of the following results:
