Troubleshooting Your System


12 Remove the system-board assembly. See “Removing a System-Board

Assembly” on page 170.

13 Replace processor 1 with processor 2. See “Installing a Processor” on

page 178.

14 Repeat step 9 through step 11.

If you have tested both the processors and the problem persists, the
system board is faulty. See “Getting Help” on page 343.
