enter the host adapter configuration utility program.
Ensure that none of the following conditions exist:
• A cooling fan has been removed or has failed.
• System cover, air shroud, memory module blank, or back filler bracket
is removed.
• Ambient temperature is too high.
• External airflow is obstructed.
If the problem persists, see Getting
Check the System Event Log or system messages for the specific issue. If
it is due to a problem with the PSU, check the LED on the PSU. Reseat the
PSU.
