Monitor problems
Symptom FRU/action
The screen is wavy, unreadable,
rolling, distorted, or has screen
jitter.
1. If the monitor self-tests show the monitor is working properly, consider
the location of the monitor. Magnetic fields around other devices (such as
transformers, appliances, fluorescent lights, and other monitors) can cause
screen jitter or wavy, unreadable, rolling, or distorted screen images. If this
happens, turn off the monitor. (Moving a color monitor while it is turned on
might cause screen discoloration.) Then move the device and the monitor at
least 305 mm (12 in.) apart. Turn on the monitor.
Notes:
a. To prevent diskette drive read/write errors, be sure the distance between
monitors and diskette drives is at least 76 mm (3 in.).
b. Non-IBM monitor cables might cause unpredictable problems.
c. An enhanced monitor cable with additional shielding is available for the
9521 and 9527 monitors. For information about the enhanced monitor
cable, contact your IBM reseller or IBM marketing representative.
2. Video adapter, if installed.
3. System board.
Wrong characters appear on the

1. If the wrong language is displayed, update the BIOS code with the correct

2. Video adapter, if installed.
3. System board.

Option problems
Symptom FRU/action
An IBM option that was just
installed does not work.
1. Verify that:
v The option is designed for the server (see the ServerProven list at
http://www.ibm.com/pc/compat/).
v
You followed the installation instructions that came with the option.
v The option is installed correctly.
v
You have not loosened any other installed options or cables.
v You updated the configuration information in the Configuration/Setup Utility
program. Whenever memory or an option is changed, you must update the
configuration.
2. Option you just installed.
An IBM option that used to work
does not work now.
1. Verify that all of the option hardware and cable connections are secure.
2. If the option comes with its own test instructions, use those instructions to test
the option.
3. If the failing option is a SCSI option, verify that:
v
The cables for all external SCSI options are connected correctly.
v
The last option in each SCSI chain, or the end of the SCSI cable, is
terminated correctly.
v
Any external SCSI option is turned on. You must turn on an external SCSI
option before turning on the server.
