CHAPTER 4: Troubleshooting Intermittent problems Intermittent system hang problems can be caused by a variety of reasons that have nothing to do with a hardware defect. These reasons include: cosmic radiation, electrostatic discharge, or software errors. FRU replacement should be considered only when a recurring problem exists. To analyze an intermittent problem: 1 Run the advanced diagnostic test for the system board in loop mode at least ten times. • If any error is detected, replace the FRU. • If no error is detected, do not replace any FRU. 2 Rerun the test to verify that there are no more errors. 132
