Verifying a repair

Use these procedures to verify hardware operation after making repairs to the system.

Choose from the following options:
  • To verify the repair of a system that is currently powered off, go to step 1.
  • To verify the repair of a system that is currently powered on with no operating system loaded, go to step 3.
  • To verify the repair of a system that is currently powered on and that has an operating system loaded, go to step 5.
  1. Power on the server and all attached I/O enclosures.
    Did all the enclosures power on?
    Yes: Go to step 3.
    No: Continue with the next step.
  2. Choose from the following options:
    • If the original problem was that an enclosure would not power on and you have another FRU to replace, locate and replace the next field-replaceable unit (FRU).
    • If the next FRU in the FRU list is an isolation procedure, perform the isolation procedure.
    • If the original problem was that an enclosure would not power on and you have an isolation procedure to complete, perform the isolation procedure.
    • If the original problem was that an enclosure would not power on and there are no more FRUs or isolation procedures in the FRU list, contact your next level of support.
    • If you have a new problem, perform problem analysis and repair the new problem.
  3. Load the operating system.
    Did the operating system load successfully?
    Yes: Go to step 5.
    No: Continue with the next step.
  4. Choose from the following options:
    • If the original problem was a failing disk drive that contained the operating system software, go to step 5.
    • If the original problem was that the operating system would not load and you have another FRU to replace, go to your FRU locations section to locate the next FRU.
    • If the next FRU in the FRU list is an isolation procedure, perform the isolation procedure.
    • If the original problem was that the operating system would not load and you have an isolation procedure to complete, perform the isolation procedure.
    • If the original problem was that the operating system would not load and there are no more FRUs or isolation procedures in the FRU list, contact your next level of support.
    • If you have a new problem, perform problem analysis and repair the new problem.
  5. Choose from the following options:
    This ends the procedure.
