Chapter 1. Introduction This Problem Determination and Service Guide contains information to help you solve problems that might occur in your IBM® System x3655 Type 7985 server. It describes the diagnostic tools that come with the server, error codes and suggested actions, and instructions for replacing failing components. Replaceable components are of three types: v Tier 1 customer replaceable unit (CRU): Replacement of Tier 1 CRUs is your responsibility. If IBM installs a Tier 1 CRU at your request, you will be charged for the installation. v Tier 2 customer replaceable unit: You may install a Tier 2 CRU yourself or request IBM to install it, at no additional charge, under the type of warranty service that is designated for your server. v Field replaceable unit (FRU): FRUs must be installed only by trained service technicians. For information about the terms of the warranty and getting service and assistance, see the Warranty and Support Information document. The server has two model styles, which are based on the size and number of hard disk drive bays: v The 3.5-inch models have six 3.5-inch hot-swap hard disk drive bays. Install only 3.5-inch drives in these models. If you install an optional tape drive, the tape drive occupies two of the six 3.5-inch drive bays. v The 2.5-inch models have eight 2.5-inch hot-swap hard disk drive bays and one 3.5-inch tape drive bay. Install only 2.5-inch hard disk drives and an optional 3.5-inch tape drive in these models. Throughout this documentation, the terms 2.5-inch models and 3.5-inch models are used to distinguish between the server styles. Related documentation In addition to this document, the following documentation also comes with the server: v Installation Guide This printed document contains instructions for setting up the server and basic instructions for installing some optional devices. v User's Guide This document is in Portable Document Format (PDF) on the IBM System x™ Documentation CD.

of
hard
disk
drive
bays:
v
The
3.5-inch
models
have
six
3.5-inch
hot-swap
