In addition to the FRUs listed in

TABLE 6-5

, there are several minor replaceable

system components—mostly cables—that cannot directly be isolated by any system
diagnostic. For the most part, you determine when these components are faulty by
eliminating other possibilities. These FRUs are listed in

Notes

FC-AL power cable

If OpenBoot Diagnostics tests indicate a disk problem, but

replacing the disk does not fix the problem, you should suspect
the FC-AL signal and power cables are either defective or
improperly connected.

FC-AL signal cable

Fan Tray 0 power
cable

If the system is powered on and the fan does not spin, or if the
Power/OK LED does not come on, but the system is up and
running, you should suspect this cable.

Power distribution
board

Any power issue that cannot be traced to the power supplies should
lead you to suspect the power distribution board. Particular
scenarios include:
• The system will not power on, but the power supply LEDs
indicate DC Present
• System is running, but RSC indicates a missing power supply

Removable media
bay board and cable
assembly

If OpenBoot Diagnostics tests indicate a problem with the CD/DVD
drive, but replacing the drive does not fix the problem, you should
suspect this assembly is either defective or improperly connected.

System control
switch cable

If the system control switch and Power button appear unresponsive,
you should suspect this cable is loose or defective.
