Undocumented problems

If you have completed the diagnostic procedure and the problem remains, the
problem might not have been previously identified by IBM. After you have verified
that all code is at the latest level, all hardware and software configurations are valid,
and no light path diagnostics LEDs or log entries indicate a hardware component
failure, contact IBM or an approved warranty service provider for assistance. To
open an online service request, go to http://www.ibm.com/support/entry/portal/
Open_service_request/. Be prepared to provide information about any error codes
and collected data and the problem determination procedures that you have used.
For problems with operating systems or IBM software or devices, go to
http://www.ibm.com/supportportal/.
Troubleshooting procedures and RETAIN tips document known problems and
suggested solutions. To search for troubleshooting procedures and RETAIN tips,
go to http://www.ibm.com/supportportal/.
See "Troubleshooting tables" on page 82 to find a solution to a problem that has
identifiable symptoms.
A single problem might cause multiple symptoms. Follow the troubleshooting
procedure for the most obvious symptom. If that procedure does not diagnose
the problem, use the procedure for another symptom, if possible.
If the problem remains, contact IBM or an approved warranty service provider
for assistance with additional problem determination and possible hardware
replacement. To open an online service request, go to the http://www.ibm.com/
support/entry/portal/Open_service_request/ call for service. Be prepared to
provide information about any error codes and collected data.
