Power problems Symptom FRU/action The server unexpectedly shuts See "12v bus faults" on page 229. down and the LEDs on the front panel are not lit. Note: See Chapter 8, "Parts listing, Type 8870," on page 249 to determine which components are replaceable by the customer, and which components should be replaced by an IBM field service technician. Serial port problems Symptom FRU/action The number of serial ports identified by the operating system is less than the number of serial ports installed. 1. Verify that: v Each port is assigned a unique address by the Configuration/Setup Utility program and none of the serial ports is disabled. v The serial-port adapter, if you installed one, is seated properly. 2. Failing serial port adapter. A serial device does not work. 1. Verify that: v The device is compatible with the computer. v The serial port is enabled and is assigned a unique address. v The device is connected to the correct port (see Chapter 5, "I/O connectors and indicators," on page 145). 2. Failing serial device. 3. Serial cable. 4. Center plane. 5. I/O board. Note: See Chapter 8, "Parts listing, Type 8870," on page 249 to determine which components are replaceable by the customer, and which components should be replaced by an IBM field service technician. Software problem Symptom FRU/action Suspected software problem. 1. To determine if problems are caused by the software, verify that: v The server has the minimum memory needed to use the software. For memory requirements, see the information that comes with the software. Note: If you have just installed an adapter or memory, you might have a memory address conflict. v The software is designed to operate on the server. v Other software works on the server. v The software that you are using works on another server. If you received any error messages when using the software program, see the information that comes with the software for a description of the messages and suggested solutions to the problem. 2. If you have verified these items and the problem remains, contact your place of purchase. 238 xSeries 445 Type 8870: Hardware Maintenance Manual and Troubleshooting Guide
