Power checkout
Power problems can be difficult to troubleshoot. For
instance, a short circuit can exist anywhere on any of the
power distribution busses. Usually a short circuit will cause
the power subsystem to shut down because of an
overcurrent condition.
A general procedure for troubleshooting power problems is
as follows:
1. Power off the system and disconnect the AC cord(s).
2. Check for loose cables in the power subsystem. Also
check for short circuits, for instance if there is a loose
screw causing a short circuit on a circuit board.
3. Remove adapters and disconnect the cables and
power connectors to all internal and external devices
until system is at minimum configuration required for
power on (see
″
Minimum operating requirements
″
on
page 184).
4. Reconnect the AC cord and power on the system. If
the system powers up successfully, replace adapters
and devices one at a time until the problem is isolated.
If system does not power up from minimal
configuration, replace FRUs of minimal configuration
one at a time until the problem is isolated.
To use this method it is important to know the minimum
configuration required for a system to power up (see page
184). For specific problems, see “Power error messages”
on page 180.
