General problems v Follow the suggested actions in the order in which they are listed in the Action column until the problem is solved. v See Chapter 3, "Parts listing, System x3200 M2 Types 4367 and 4368," on page 33 to determine which components are customer replaceable units (CRU) and which components are field replaceable units (FRU). v If an action step is preceded by "(Trained service technician only)," that step must be performed only by a trained service technician. Symptom Action A cover lock is broken, an LED If the part is a CRU, replace it. If the part is a FRU, the part must be replaced by a is not working, or a similar trained service technician. problem has occurred. Hard disk drive problems v Follow the suggested actions in the order in which they are listed in the Action column until the problem is solved. v See Chapter 3, "Parts listing, System x3200 M2 Types 4367 and 4368," on page 33 to determine which components are customer replaceable units (CRU) and which components are field replaceable units (FRU). v If an action step is preceded by "(Trained service technician only)," that step must be performed only by a trained service technician. Symptom Action Not all drives are recognized by the hard disk drive diagnostic test (the Fixed Disk Test or the SCSI Attached Disk test). Remove the drive that is indicated on the diagnostic tests; then, run the hard disk drive diagnostic test again. If the remaining drives are recognized, replace the drive that you removed with a new one. The server stops responding during the hard disk drive diagnostic test. Remove the hard disk drive that was being tested when the server stopped responding, and run the diagnostic test again. If the hard disk drive diagnostic test runs successfully, replace the drive that you removed with a new one. A hard disk drive was not detected while the operating system was being started. Reseat all hard disk drives and cables; then, run the hard disk drive diagnostic tests again. A hard disk drive passes the diagnostic Fixed Disk Test but the problem remains. Run the diagnostic SCSI Attached Disk test (see "Running the diagnostic programs" on page 156). Note: Use the SCSI Attached Disk test for drives that are part of RAID arrays. Use the Fixed Disk test for SATA drives that are not part of RAID arrays Chapter 5. Diagnostics 141

General problems
v
Follow the suggested actions in the order in which they are listed in the Action column until the problem
is solved.
v
See Chapter 3, “Parts listing, System x3200 M2 Types 4367 and 4368,” on page 33 to determine which
components are customer replaceable units (CRU) and which components are field replaceable units
(FRU).
v
If an action step is preceded by “(Trained service technician only),” that step must be performed only by a
trained service technician.
Symptom
Action
A cover lock is broken, an LED
is not working, or a similar
problem has occurred.
If the part is a CRU, replace it. If the part is a FRU, the part must be replaced by a
trained service technician.
Hard disk drive problems
v
Follow the suggested actions in the order in which they are listed in the Action column until the problem
is solved.
v
See Chapter 3, “Parts listing, System x3200 M2 Types 4367 and 4368,” on page 33 to determine which
components are customer replaceable units (CRU) and which components are field replaceable units
(FRU).
v
If an action step is preceded by “(Trained service technician only),” that step must be performed only by a
trained service technician.
Symptom
Action
Not all drives are recognized by
the hard disk drive diagnostic
test (the Fixed Disk Test or the
SCSI Attached Disk test).
Remove the drive that is indicated on the diagnostic tests; then, run the hard disk
drive diagnostic test again. If the remaining drives are recognized, replace the drive
that you removed with a new one.
The server stops responding
during the hard disk drive
diagnostic test.
Remove the hard disk drive that was being tested when the server stopped
responding, and run the diagnostic test again. If the hard disk drive diagnostic test
runs successfully, replace the drive that you removed with a new one.
A hard disk drive was not
detected while the operating
system was being started.
Reseat all hard disk drives and cables; then, run the hard disk drive diagnostic
tests again.
A hard disk drive passes the
diagnostic Fixed Disk Test but
the problem remains.
Run the diagnostic SCSI Attached Disk test (see “Running the diagnostic
programs” on page 156).
Note:
Use the SCSI Attached Disk test for drives that are part of RAID arrays. Use
the Fixed Disk test for SATA drives that are not part of RAID arrays
