System board Undetermined problems Use the information in this section if the diagnostic tests did not identify the failure, the devices list is incorrect, or the system is inoperative. Notes: 1. Damaged data in CMOS can cause undetermined problems. 2. Damaged data in BIOS code can cause undetermined problems. Check the LEDs on all the power supplies. If the LEDs indicate the power supplies are working correctly, complete the following steps: 1. Turn off the server. 2. Be sure the server is cabled correctly. 3. Remove or disconnect the following devices (one at a time) until you find the failure (turn on the server and reconfigure each time): Any external devices Surge suppressor device (on the server) Modem, printer, mouse, or non-IBM devices Each adapter Drives Memory modules (minimum requirement = 256 MB (2 banks of 128 MB DIMMs)) Note: Minimum operating requirements are: a. One power supply b. Power cage assembly, if installed. c. System board d. One microprocessor and VRM e. Memory module (with a minimum of two 128 MB DIMMs) 4. Turn on the server. If the problem remains, suspect the following FRUs in the order listed: Power supply Power cage assembly, if installed 118 IBM xSeries 225 Types 8649: Hardware Maintenance Manual and Troubleshooting Guide
