System board. Failure reading I2C 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): Any external devices Surge suppressor device (on the server) Modem, printer, mouse, or non-IBM devices Each adapter Drives Memory modules (minimum requirement = 256 MB (2 banks of 128 MB DIMMs)) Note: Minimum operating requirements are: a. One power supply b. Power cage assembly, if installed. Chapter 6. Symptom-to-FRU index 157
