Undetermined Problems
You are here because the diagnostic tests did not identify
which adapter or device failed, installed devices are
incorrect, a short circuit is suspected, or the system is
inoperative. Follow the procedures below to isolate the
failing FRU (do not isolate nondefective FRUs).
Verify that all attached devices are supported by the
computer.
Verify that the power supply being used at the time of the
failure is operating correctly. (See “Power Systems
Checkout” on page 349.)
1. Power-off the computer.
2. Check the cables, wires, and connectors for short
circuits and open circuits. Visually check them for

a. Non-IBM devices
b. Devices attached to the expansion bus
connector
c. Printer, mouse, and other external devices
d. Battery pack

f. Diskette drive/CD-ROM drive or the device
attached in the UltraBay.
g. DIMM

6. If the problem does not occur again, reconnect the
removed devices one at a time until you find the
failing FRU.
