Bus fault messages Note: See "System" on page 112 to determine which components should be replaced by a field service technician. Bus fault messages Message Action Failure reading 12C device. Check devices on bus 0. 1. If installed, reseat the I2C cable between Remote Supervisor Adapter (in PCI slot 1/J1) and system board (J2). 2. Memory DIMMs. 3. System board. Failure reading 12C device.

Check device on bus 4. v 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): v Any external devices v Surge suppressor device (on the server) v Modem, printer, mouse, or non-IBM devices v Each adapter v Drives v Memory modules (minimum requirement = two 256 MB DIMMs) Note: Minimum operating requirements are: a. Power supply b. System board c. One microprocessor and VRM d. Memory (with a minimum of two 256 MB DIMMs) 4. Turn on the server. If the problem remains, suspect the following FRUs in the order listed: Chapter 6. Symptom-to-FRU index 109
