2. Bring the server to base configuration by removing all components that are not required by the server to complete POST. This process can include removing all: • "Expansion boards" (page 42) • "Processors" (page 30) IMPORTANT: The server requires a minimum of processor memory cells 1, 2, 7, 8 and the cell filler populated with the minimum number of processors and DIMMs at all times or the server does not function properly. • "DIMMs" (page 36) • "SAS hard drives" (page 37) • Peripheral devices 3. Install the expansion boards one at a time, rebooting between each installation to isolate the failed expansion board. 4. Replace the failed expansion board, if applicable. 5. Replace the PCI riser board, if applicable. 6. Replace the midplane board. IMPORTANT: If replacing the SPI board or clearing NVRAM, you must re-enter the server serial number through RBSU, see "Re-entering the server serial number and product ID" (page 48). Miscellaneous port 85 codes To troubleshoot all other port 85 codes: IMPORTANT: Reboot the server after completing each numbered step. If the error condition continues, proceed with the next step 1.
