Checkout procedure The checkout procedure is the sequence of tasks that you should follow to diagnose a problem in the server. About the checkout procedure Before you perform the checkout procedure for diagnosing hardware problems, review the following information: v Read the safety information beginning on page vii. v The diagnostic programs provide the primary methods of testing the major components of the server, such as the system board, Ethernet controller, keyboard, mouse (pointing device), serial ports, and hard disk drives.
(see “Power-supply LEDs” on page 125). b. Turn off the server and all external devices. c. Check all internal and external devices for compatibility at http://www.ibm.com/servers/eserver/serverproven/compat/us/. d. Check all cables and power cords. e. Set all display controls to the middle positions.
Troubleshooting tables Use the troubleshooting tables to find solutions to problems that have identifiable symptoms. If you cannot find the problem in these tables, see “Running the diagnostic programs” on page 127 for information about testing the server. If you have just added new software or a new optional device and the server is not working, complete the following steps before using the troubleshooting tables: 1.

2. Make sure that the USB configuration options are set correctly in the Configuration/Setup Utility program menu. (For more information, see the User’s Guide on the IBM System x Documentation CD). 3. If you are using a USB hub, disconnect the USB device from the hub and connect it directly to the server.
Error LEDs The following is an illustration of the system board LEDs. The system board has error LEDs that will help to locate the source of the error. Run the diagnostic programs to find out the cause of the error (see “Running the diagnostic programs” on page 127).
3. Remove the server cover and look inside the server for lit LEDs. Certain components inside the server have LEDs that will be lit to indicate the location of a problem. For example, a DIMM error will light the LED next to the failing DIMM on the system board.

The following table describes the problems that are indicated by various combinations of the power-supply LEDs and the power-on LED on the front information panel and suggested actions to correct the detected problems. v Follow the suggested actions in the order in which they are listed in the Action column until the problem is solved.
7. Select CD/DVD-ROM as the first startup device. 8. Press Esc two times to return to the Configuration/Setup Utility menu. 9. Insert the IBM Enhanced Diagnostics CD in the CD drive. 10. Select Save & Exit Setup and follow the prompts. The diagnostics will load.
The keyboard and mouse (pointing device) tests assume that a keyboard and mouse are attached to the server. If no mouse is attached to the server, you cannot use the Next Cat and Prev Cat buttons to select categories. All other mouse-selectable functions are available through function keys.
Diagnostic error codes The following table describes the error codes that the diagnostic programs might generate and suggested actions to correct the detected problems. If the diagnostic programs generate error codes that are not listed in the table, make sure that the latest levels of BIOS, Remote Supervisor Adapter II SlimLine, and ServeRAID code are installed.
