Chapter 7. Symptom-to-FRU index

This index supports xSeries 200 servers.
Notes:
1. Check the configuration before you replace a FRU.
Configuration problems can cause false errors and
symptoms.
2. The default configuration can be loaded by starting the
system and then pressing the reset button four times,
waiting 15 seconds between each press. Once the
configuration has reset to the default, it must be saved
in Setup to be stored in CMOS.
3. For IBM devices not supported by index, refer to the
manual for that device.
4. Always start with Chapter 1, "General checkout," on
page 1.
The Symptom-to-FRU lists symptoms, errors, and the
possible causes. The most likely cause is listed first. Use
this Symptom-to-FRU index to help you decide which
FRUs to have available when servicing the computer. The
POST BIOS displays POST error codes and messages on
the screen.

Beep symptoms

Beep symptoms are short tones or a series of short tones
separated by pauses (intervals without sound). See the
