Miscellaneous port 85 codes
To troubleshoot all other port 85 codes:
IMPORTANT: Reboot the server after completing each numbered step. If the error condition
continues, proceed with the next step.
1. Bring the server to base configuration by removing all components that are not required by the
server to complete POST. This process can include removing all:
o Expansion boards ("Removing a non-hot-plug expansion board" on page 41, "Removing a PCI-X
Hot Plug expansion board" on page 42)
o Processors ("Removing a processor or processor blank" on page 34), except the processor
installed in socket 1
IMPORTANT: Processor socket 1 and PPM slot 1 must be populated at all times or the server
does not function properly.
o PPMs ("Removing a PPM" on page 37), except the PPM installed in slot 1
o DIMMs ("Removing DIMMs" on page 68), except the first bank
o Hard drives ("Removing a hot-plug SAS hard drive" on page 54)
o Peripheral devices
2. Install each remaining system component, rebooting between each installation to isolate any failed
components.
3. Clear the system NVRAM ("System maintenance switch" on page 86).
4. Replace the system board.
IMPORTANT: If replacing the system board or clearing NVRAM, you must re-enter the server
serial number through RBSU ("Re-entering the server serial number and product ID" on page
48).
