c.
Power supplies (hot-swap models)
4.
Replace the following components one at a time, in the order shown, restarting
the server each time:
a.
DIMMs
b.
Power supplies (hot-swap models)
c.
(Trained service technician only) Power supply (non-hot swap models)
5.
If you just installed an optional device, remove it, and restart the server. If the
