v Follow the suggested actions in the order in which they are listed in the Action column until the problem
is solved.
v See Chapter 4, "Parts listing, System x3250 M3 Types 4251, 4252, and 4261," on page 119 to determine
which components are customer replaceable units (CRU) and which components are field replaceable
units (FRU).
v If an action step is preceded by "(Trained service technician only)," that step must be performed only by a
trained service technician.

a. Check the extender-card
LEDs.
b. Reseat the affected adapters
and extender card.
c. Update the server and adapter
firmware (UEFI and IMM).
Important: Some cluster
solutions require specific code
levels or coordinated code
updates. If the device is part
of a cluster solution, verify that
the latest level of code is
supported for the cluster
solution before you update the
code.
d. Remove the adapter from slot
n.
e. Replace the PCIe adapter.
f. Replace extender card n.
