7. Determine if the
fault was detected
by PSH.
If the fault message does not begin with the
characters SPT, the fault was detected by the
PSH feature.
After the FRU is replaced, perform the
procedure to clear PSH detected faults.

Faults” on page 44
8. Determine if the
fault was detected
by POST.
POST performs basic tests of the server module
components and reports faulty FRUs. When
POST detects a faulty FRU, POST logs the fault
and if possible, takes the FRU offline. POST
detected FRUs display the following text in the
fault message:
Forced fail reason
where reason is the name of the power-on routine
that detected the failure.

9. Contact technical
support.
The majority of hardware faults are detected by
the server module’s diagnostics. In rare cases a
problem might require additional
troubleshooting. If you are unable to determine
the cause of the problem, contact Oracle Support
