CAUTION:
replacement, while other processors and heatsinks are integrated and cannot be reused once
separated. For specific instructions for the server you are troubleshooting, refer to processor
information in the Hardware options installation (on page 23) section on the Documentation
CD.
If the server has only one processor installed, replace it with a known functional processor. If the
5.
problem is resolved after you restart the server, the original processor failed.
If the server has multiple processors installed, test each processor:
6.
Remove all but one processor from the server. Replace each with a processor terminator board
a.
or blank, if applicable to the server.
If the server includes PPMs that are not integrated on the system board, remove all PPMs from the
b.
server except for the PPM associated with the remaining processor.
Replace the remaining processor with a known functional processor. If the problem is resolved
c.
after you restart the server, a fault exists with one or more of the original processors. Install each
processor and its associated PPM (if applicable) one by one, restarting each time, to find the
faulty processor or processors. Be sure the processor configurations at each step are compatible
with the server requirements.
PPM problems
Action: If the PPMs are not integrated on the system board:
CAUTION:
removed. Operating the server in this manner results in improper airflow and improper
cooling that can lead to thermal damage.
If applicable, check the PPM LEDs to identify if a PPM failure occurred. For information on LEDs, refer
1.
to the server documentation.
Reseat each PPM, and then restart the server.
2.
If reseating the PPMs is not effective, remove all but one PPM, restart the server to see if the PPM is
3.
working, and then install each PPM individually, cycling power each time. Follow the warnings and
cautionary information in the server documentation.

cooling that can lead to thermal damage.
Check the server LEDs to see if any statuses indicate the source of the problem. For LED information,
1.
refer to the server documentation.
Remove all power sources to the server.
2.
Be sure no loose connections (on page 54) exist in the area.
