Attention
The drives in the servers you are servicing might have been rearranged or the
drive startup sequence might have been changed. Be extremely careful during
write operations such as copying, saving, or formatting. Data or programs
can be overwritten if you select an incorrect drive.
General error messages appear if a problem or conflict is found by an application
program, the operating system, or both. For an explanation of these messages, refer
to the information supplied with that software package.
Before replacing a FRU, ensure that the latest level of BIOS is installed on the
system. A down-level BIOS might cause false errors and unnecessary replacement
of the system board.
Use the following procedure to help determine the cause of a problem:
1.
Turn off the server and all external devices.
2. Check all cables and power cords.
3. Set all display controls to the middle position.
4. Power-on all external devices.
5. Turn on the server.
