Verifying a repair
Learn how to verify hardware operation after you make repairs to the system.
Procedure
1. Power on the system.
2. Did you replace a PCIe adapter or device?
If
Then
Yes:
No:
Continue with the next step.
3. Scan the system event logs (SELs) for serviceable events that occurred after system hardware was
replaced. For information about SELs that require a service action, see “Identifying a service action by
using system event logs” on page 18.
4. Did any serviceable SEL events occur after hardware was replaced?
If
Then
Yes:
The problem is not resolved. Go to “Identifying a service action by using system event
logs” on page 18 and complete the service actions indicated. This ends the
procedure.
No:
The problem is resolved. This ends the procedure.
5. Use the following table to determine the verification action to complete:
