v See Chapter 4, "Parts listing, Types 8014, 8028 and 1916," on page 25 to determine which components are CRUs and which components are FRUs. v If an action step is preceded by "(Trained service technician only)," that step must be performed only by a trained service technician. Error code Description Action 166-906-xxx Failed the BMC self test due to a failure in VPD or Power PSOC. 1. Turn off the blade server, open the blade server release levers and pull the blade server away from the blade server bay, but do not remove it from the bay. See "Removing the blade server from the BladeCenter unit" on page 33 for more information. 2. Wait 45 seconds and reseat the blade server in the blade module bay and turn on the blade server. See "Installing the blade server in a BladeCenter unit" on page 34 and "Turning on the blade server" on page 9. 3. Rerun the test. See "Diagnostic tools overview" on page 67. 4. Make sure that the DSA Diagnostic code is up-to-date, upgrade if necessary; then, rerun the test. The latest code can be found on the IBM support Web site at http://www.ibm.com/ support/docview.wss?uid=psg1SERV-DSA. 5. Make sure that the BMC firmware level is up-to-date, upgrade if necessary; then, rerun the test. The installed firmware level can be found in the DSA Diagnostic Event Log within the Firmware/VPD section for this component. The latest level firmware for this component can be found on the IBM support Web site at http://www.ibm.com/support/ docview.wss?uid=psg1MIGR-4JTS2T. 6. Turn off the blade server, open the blade server release levers and pull the blade server away from the blade server bay, but do not remove it from the bay. See "Removing the blade server from the BladeCenter unit" on page 33 for more information. 7. Wait 45 seconds and reseat the blade server in the blade module bay and turn on the blade server. See "Installing the blade server in a BladeCenter unit" on page 34 and "Turning on the blade server" on page 9. 8. Rerun the test. See "Diagnostic tools overview" on page 67. 9. If the failure remains, refer to Chapter 5, "Removing and replacing blade server components," on page 31 to replace the failed component. Chapter 6. Diagnostics 141

Error code

Description

Action

166-906-xxx

Failed the BMC self test due to a failure in

VPD or Power PSOC.

Turn off the blade server, open the blade server

release levers and pull the blade server away

from the blade server bay, but do not remove it

from the bay. See “Removing the blade server

from the BladeCenter unit” on page 33 for more

information.

Wait 45 seconds and reseat the blade server in

the blade module bay and turn on the blade

server. See “Installing the blade server in a

BladeCenter unit” on page 34 and “Turning on

the blade server” on page 9.

Rerun the test. See “Diagnostic tools overview”

on page 67.

Make sure that the DSA Diagnostic code is

up-to-date, upgrade if necessary; then, rerun the

test. The latest code can be found on the IBM

support Web site at http://www.ibm.com/

support/docview.wss?uid=psg1SERV-DSA.

Make sure that the BMC firmware level is

up-to-date, upgrade if necessary; then, rerun the

test. The installed firmware level can be found

in the DSA Diagnostic Event Log within the

Firmware/VPD section for this component. The

latest level firmware for this component can be

found on the IBM support Web site at
