Keyboard, mouse, or
pointing-device problems.
• Make sure that the keyboard cable is properly connected to the C2T breakout
cable.
• Make sure that the C2T breakout cable is properly connected to the server.
• Make sure that the server and the monitor are turned on.
• Try using another keyboard.
Note: If you are using the C2T chain, see “Testing the C2T chain” on page 19.
If the items above are correct, call for service.
All or some keys on the
keyboard do not work.
The mouse or pointing device

If the problem remains, call for service.
Memory problems Verify that:
• The memory modules are seated properly.
• You have installed the correct type of memory.
• If you changed the memory, you updated the memory configuration with the
Configuration/Setup Utility program.
• All banks of memory on the DIMMs are enabled. The server might have
automatically disabled a DIMM bank when it detected a problem or a DIMM bank
could have been manually disabled.
Look in the POST error log for error message 289:
• If the DIMM was disabled by a system-management interrupt (SMI), replace the
DIMM.
• If the DIMM was disabled by the user or by POST:
1. Start the Configuration/Setup Utility program.
2. Enable the DIMM.
3. Save the configuration and restart the server.
• If you continue to get this error, replace the DIMM.
If the problem remains, call for service.
The amount of system memory
displayed is less than the
amount of physical memory
installed.
Microprocessor problems The startup (boot) microprocessor is not working properly.
Verify that the startup microprocessor is seated properly. If it is, replace the startup
microprocessor.
If the problem remains, call for service.
The server emits a continuous
tone during POST.
Monitor problems Some IBM monitors have their own self-tests. If you suspect a problem with your
monitor, see the information that comes with the monitor for adjusting and testing
instructions.
If you still cannot find the problem, call for service.
