Symptom / Error

FRU / Action in Sequence

Errors occur only when the
port replicator is used.

See “Port Replicator
Checkout” on page 36.

Intermittent Symptoms

Intermittent system hang problems can be caused by a
variety of reasons that have nothing to do with a hardware
defect, such as: cosmic radiation, electrostatic discharge,
or software errors. FRU replacement should be
considered only when a recurring problem exists.

When analyzing the intermittent problem, do the following:

1. Run the advanced diagnostic test for the system

board in loop mode at least 10 times.

2. If no error is detected, do not replace any FRUs.
3. If any error is detected, replace the FRU shown by

the FRU code. Rerun the test to verify that no more
errors exist.
