If the message indicates that the adapter is DEFINED instead of AVAILABLE, shut down the system unit
and check the PCIe2 3D Graphics Adapter to ensure that it is installed correctly. If you continue to
experience problems after following the steps in this section, contact service and support for assistance.
IBM Installation Toolkit for PowerLinux
To troubleshoot problems for the 3D Graphics adapter, you can use the IBM Installation Toolkit for
PowerLinux, a stand-alone diagnostic toolkit for systems that have the 3D Graphics adapter installed.
To diagnose problems with the 3D graphics adapter installed in a system, and work with the IBM
Installation Toolkit, complete the following steps:
1. Download the DVD ISO image from IBM Installation Toolkit website (http://www-304.ibm.com/
webapp/set2/sas/f/lopdiags/installtools/home.html).
2. Create a DVD for the downloaded ISO image.
3. Insert the DVD in the system DVD drive and boot the system.
Note: You can also use the NIM to boot the system.
4. Once the DVD has booted, select the 3D graphics diagnostics application.
5. Choose the option 2 - Wizard mode graphical (using X). The Graphical desktop is displayed.
6. Right-click on the desktop area, and click IBM > PCIe2 3D Graphics Adapter.
7. Follow the on-screen instructions to diagnose the problem with the 3D Graphics adapter and resolve
the problem.
