General problems
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 3, “Parts listing, Type 4364 or Type 4365 server,” on page 59 to determine which components
are customer replaceable units (CRU) and which components are field replaceable units (FRU).

trained service technician.
Symptom Action
A cover lock is broken, an LED
is not working, or a similar
problem has occurred.
If the part is a CRU, replace it. If the part is a FRU, the part must be replaced by a
trained service technician.

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 3, “Parts listing, Type 4364 or Type 4365 server,” on page 59 to determine which components

Symptom Action
Not all drives are recognized by
the hard disk drive diagnostic
test (the Fixed Disk test).
Remove the drive indicated on the diagnostic tests; then, run the hard disk drive
diagnostic test again. If the remaining drives are recognized, replace the drive that
you removed with a new one.
The server stops responding
during the hard disk drive
diagnostic test.
Remove the hard disk drive that was being tested when the server stopped
responding, and run the diagnostic test again. If the hard disk drive diagnostic test
runs successfully, replace the drive that you removed with a new one.
A hard disk drive was not
detected while the operating
system was being started.
Reseat all hard disk drives and cables; then, run the hard disk drive diagnostic
tests again.
A hard disk drive passes the
diagnostic Fixed Disk Test but
the problem remains.
Run the diagnostic SCSI Attached Disk Test (see “Running the diagnostic
programs” on page 37).
Note: Use the SCSI Attached Disk test for drives that are part of RAID arrays. Use
the Fixed Disk Test for SATA drives that are not part of RAID arrays.
