Warning
Warning messages do not require immediate action; they indicate possible
problems, such as when the recommended maximum ambient temperature
is exceeded.
Error
Error messages might require action; they indicate system errors, such as
when a fan is not detected.
Each message contains date and time information, and it indicates the source of
the message (POST or the IMM).
Integrated management module (IMM) error messages
The following table describes the IMM error messages and suggested actions to
correct the detected problems. For more information about IMM, see the
Integrated
Management Module User's Guide
at http://www.ibm.com/systems/support/
supportsite.wss/ docdisplay?lndocid=MIGR-5079770&brandind=5000008.
v
Follow the suggested actions in the order in which they are listed in the Action column until the problem
is solved.
v
See Chapter 4, “Parts listing, System x3200 M3 Types 7327 and 7328,” on page 133 to determine which
components are customer replaceable units (CRU) and which components are field replaceable units
(FRU).
v
If an action step is preceded by “(Trained service technician only),” that step must be performed only by a
trained service technician.
