If a newly replaced FRU does not correct the problem:
If you have reached this point of the check procedures and were instructed to replace a FRU but doing so did not correct the problem,
reinstall the original FRU and go through "Start" again.
If you want to print a copy of a BIOS Setup Utility screen to an attached printer, press Print Screen key, while the screen is displayed.
PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING:
Human Error is a cause for concern when applied to check procedures. It exists in every first time set of analysis
procedures. It is therefore essential for effective and time-efficient servicing that each stage of every procedure be
verified. (For example: When a symptom is found, or when a symptom appears to have been cured; the preceding steps
should be repeated for accuracy of analysis.)
