correct the cause of the first error message. The other error messages usually will
not occur the next time you run the diagnostic programs.
Exception: If multiple error messages or LEDs indicate a microprocessor error, the
error might be in a microprocessor or in a microprocessor socket. See
"Microprocessor problems" on page 138 for information about diagnosing
microprocessor problems.
If the server stops during testing and you cannot continue, restart the server and try
running the diagnostic programs again. If the problem remains, replace the
component that was being tested when the server stopped.
