Power checkout Power problems can be difficult to troubleshoot. For instance, a short circuit can exist anywhere on any of the power distribution busses. Usually a short circuit will cause the power subsystem to shut down because of an overcurrent condition. A general procedure for troubleshooting power problems is as follows: 1. Power off the system and disconnect the AC cord(s). 2. Check for loose cables in the power subsystem. Also check for short circuits, for instance if there is a loose screw causing a short circuit on a circuit board. 3. Remove adapters and disconnect the cables and power connectors to all internal and external devices until system is at minimum configuration required for power on (see "Minimum operating requirements" on page 133). 4. Reconnect the AC cord and power on the system. If the system powers up successfully, replace adapters and devices one at a time until the problem is isolated. If system does not power up from minimal configuration, replace FRUs of minimal configuration one at a time until the problem is isolated. To use this method it is important to know the minimum configuration required for a system to power up (see page 133). For specific problems, see"Power error messages" on page 129.

Note: In the U.S., call 1-800-IBM-4333 for information about battery disposal. If you replace the original lithium battery with a heavy-metal battery or a battery with heavy-metal components, be aware of the following environmental consideration. Batteries and accumulators that contain heavy metals must not be disposed of with normal domestic waste. They will be taken back free of charge by the manufacturer, distributor, or representative, to be recycled or disposed of in a proper manner.
