If the 12 V channel C error LED is lit, complete the following
steps:
1. Turn off the server and disconnect the power from the
server.
2. Remove the SAS/SATA RAID riser card, DIMMs in
connectors 1 through 9, and the microprocessor in socket
1.
Note: The server will not power-on when the
microprocessor in socket 1 or 2 is not installed in the
server. (Trained service technician only) Toggle the switch
block (SW4), bit 3 to allow the server to power-on. See
“System-board switches and jumpers” on page 18 for the
location of the SW4 switch block on the system board.
3. Restart the server to see whether the problem remains.
4. Reinstall each device that you removed in step 2 one at a
time, starting the server each time, to isolate the failing
device.
5. Replace any failing device.
6. (Trained service technician only) Replace the system
board.
