Off Off Off Off Off If the AC power is on, but the 
system board assembly does not 
have power, then: 
1.  Check the power supply unit 
(PSU) or power interposer 
board (PIB) if any. If the PSU 
or PIB has any error, replace 
it.
2.  If the PSU or PIB is good, do 
the following:
a.  Replace the system I/O 
board.
b.  Replace the processor 
board.

General problem determination procedures
Use the information in this section to resolve problems if the event log does not contain specific errors or the 
server is inoperative.
If you are not sure about the cause of a problem and the power supplies are working correctly, complete the 
following steps to attempt to resolve the problem: 
1.  Power off the server.
2.  Make sure that the server is cabled correctly.
3.  Remove or disconnect the following devices if applicable, one at a time, until you find the failure. Power 
on and configure the server each time you remove or disconnect a device. 
•  Any external devices.
•  Surge-suppressor device (on the server). 
•  Printer, mouse, and non-Lenovo devices.
•  Each adapter.
•  Hard disk drives.
