Fault on Initial Power Up
If you have installed the server, and upon initial power up, you see errors indicating
faults with the Fully Buffered DIMMs (FB-DIMMs), PCI cards, or other components,
the suspect component might have become loose during shipment.
Conduct a visual inspection of the server internals and its components. Remove the
top cover and physically reseat the cable connections, the PCI cards, and the FB-
DIMMs.
