13.0 Symptom-to-FRU Index
The Symptom-to-FRU Index lists error symptoms and possible causes. The
most likely cause is listed first. When servicing a system, always begin
with "General Checkout" in topic 1.0. This index can also be used to help
you decide which FRUs to have available when servicing a system.
If you are unable to correct the problem using this index, go to
"Undetermined Problem" in topic 2.0.
Warning: Follow "General IBM Electro-Static Discharge (ESD) Instructions"
in topic FRONT_2.1 before touching system boards, adapters, math
coprocessors, memory module kits, diskette drives, or hard disk drives.
Notes:
1. If you have both an error message and an incorrect audio response,
diagnose the error message first.
2. If you cannot run the advanced diagnostic tests but did receive a POST
error code, diagnose the POST error message.
3. If you did not receive any error message, look for a description of
your error symptoms in the first part of this index.
4. Check all power supply voltages before you replace the system board.
(See "Power Supply Voltages" in topic 3.0.)
5. Check the hard disk drive jumper settings before you replace a hard
disk drive. (See "Hard Disk Drive Jumper Settings" in topic 9.0.)
In the following index, an "X" in an error message can be any number.
