• Follow the suggested actions in the order in which they are listed in the Action column until the problem is
solved.
• See “Parts listing” to determine which components are customer replaceable units (CRU) and which
components are field replaceable units (FRU).

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.
If the 12 V channel B error LED is lit, complete the following
