Power problems can be difficult to troubleshoot. For instance, a short circuit can
exist anywhere on any of the power distribution buses. Usually a short circuit causes
the power subsystem to shut down because of an over-current condition.
A general procedure for troubleshooting power problems is as follows:
1. Turn off the system and disconnect the AC power cord(s).
2. Check for loose cables in the power subsystem. Also check for short circuits.
For example, if there is a loose screw causing a short circuit on a circuit board.
3. Remove adapters and disconnect the cables and power connectors to all
internal and external devices until the system is at the minimum configuration
required for operation.
4. Reconnect the AC cord and turn on the system. If the system starts
successfully, replace adapters and devices one at a time until the problem is
isolated. If the system does not turn on from the minimal configuration, replace
FRUs of minimal configuration one at a time until the problem is isolated.
Accurate cooling of the system is important for proper operation and system
reliability.

Each error message indicates a problem and sometimes also a recovery action. If the
problem is not resolved after performing the recovery action, perform a diagnostics
test and replace the problematic part.
The following tables contain examples of different error messages.
