Note Addition of the 5th processor automatically requires installation of the second processor daughter card and the cache coherency filter DIMMs as well. Any of these may be the failing FRU if the system fails at this point. If failure occurs when this combination is installed, do the following: 1. Remove the cache coherency filter DIMMs. 2. Remove the first processor daughter board with all its processors. 3. Reboot the system. If the system boots to the IBM logo screen, the one or more of the cache coherency filter DIMMs were the failing FRUs. Replace the pair of DIMMs. If the system does not boot with this combination of processor and processor daughter card, do the following: 1. Swap the processor with one from the first processor daughter card 2. Reboot the system. If the system boots to the IBM logo screen, the processor just removed is the failing FRU. Replace it. If the system does not boot to the IBM logo screen, the processor daughter board is the failing FRU. Replace it. k. Processor terminator cards (one at a time) l. Memory card (maintaining DIMM pairs across the memory cards) m. Memory DIMM (maintaining DIMM pairs across the memory cards) n. System management adapter o. SCSI backplane p. Hardfiles (one at a time) q. CD-ROM drive r. Diskette drive s. Fans (one at a time) t. PCI card (one at a time) u. External device (one at a time) 9. Once the failing FRU is identified, power off the system, replace the failing FRU and go to 12 on page 216. 10. If the server does not boot as far as the IBM logo screen with the minimum partial-boot configuration, one of the FRUs in the current configuration is faulty. Do the following: a. If the system had multiple processors, processor daughter boards, memory cards, DIMMs or Netfinity 8500R - Type 8681 215
