Important Notes
Only certified trained personnel should
service the computer.
Read FRU service procedures before replacing
any FRUs.
Be extremely careful during write operations,
copying, saving, or formatting. Drives in the
computer that you are servicing might have been
rearranged, or the drive startup sequence might
have been altered. If you select an incorrect
drive, data or programs can be written over.
Replace FRUs only for the correct model.
When you replace the FRU, make sure the
model of the machine and FRU part number are
correct by referring to the parts list.
FRUs should not be replaced because of a
single, unreproducible failure. Single failures
can occur for a variety of reasons that have
nothing to do with a hardware defect, such as:
cosmic radiation, electrostatic discharge, or
software errors. FRU replacement should be
considered only when a recurring problem exists.
If this is suspected, clear the error log and run
the test again. Do not replace any FRUs if log
errors do not reappear.
Be careful not to replace a nondefective FRU.
How to Use Error Messages: Use the error
codes displayed on the screen to diagnose failures. If
more than one error code is displayed, begin the diagnosis
with the first error code. The cause of the first error code
can cause subsequent error codes to be false. If no error
code is displayed, see if the error symptom is listed in the
“Symptom-to-FRU Index” on page 432.
Port Replicator Problems: If you suspect a
problem with the Port Replicator, see “Port Replicator
Checkout” on page 428.
How to Diagnose Multiple FRUs: If the adapter
or device has more than one FRU, the error code could be
caused by either FRU. Before replacing multiple FRUs, try
removing or exchanging each FRU, one by one in the
designated sequence, to see if the symptoms change.
