TP Selectadock II - Symptom - T0 - FRU - Index

Applicable to: World-Wide

Symptom-to-FRU Index:
The Symptom-to-FRU Index lists error symptoms and possible causes. The most likely cause is listed first.

Note:
Replace the FRUs one at a time in the sequence shown in the FRUs of the SelectaDock Sequence of Action column. If a replaced part did not resolve the problem, put the original part back in the SelectaDock Docking System. Do not replace nondefective parts.

Always begin with 'General Preparation´. This index also can be used to help you decide which FRUs to have available when servicing the SelectaDock Docking System.

Numeric error codes show the errors detected in the POST or system operation. X s, when included in the error code, can be any number.

FRU codes are used for errors detected by diagnostic tests.

If no error codes are available, use narrative symptoms.

If the symptom is not listed or you cannot correct the problem using this index, go to 'Undetermined Problems´.

If you cannot correct the problem using this index, go to 'Undetermined Problems´.

Important:
1. Before replacing any SCSI device, verify there are no duplicate SCSI ID settings.
2. Make sure there are no conflicts of hardware settings, such as, interrupt level, memory address, DMA channel, and I/O address.
3. If you have both an error message and an incorrect audio response, diagnose the error message first.
4. If you cannot run the advanced diagnostic tests, but did receivea POST error message, diagnose the POST error message.
5. If you did not receive an error message, look fora description of your error symptoms in the first part of this index.
6. Check all power supply voltages before you replace the main card, riser card, and audio card of the SelectaDock Docking System. (See 'Power Supply´.)

Diagnostic Error Codes:
A detected error is shown as in the following example:

A large X to the left of the device icon
Device ID (three digit)
FRU code (four digit)
Error code (two digit)

The device ID and error code are used to indicate the detail portion of the FRU which caused the error. If replacing a FRU does not correct the problem, see the device ID or error code from the previous failure. If they have changed, the cause might be because the new FRU is defective or that the FRU was incorrectly installed.

Device ID:
If an error is detected by the diagnostic tests, a three digit device ID is displayed. The device ID indicates suspected device.


FRU Codes:
If an error is detected by the diagnostic tests, a four-digit FRU code is displayed. The FRU code indicates two suspected FRUs. Replace the FRU that is indicated by the two leftmost digits first; then replace the FRU that is indicated by the two rightmost digits. No FRU is assigned to code 00. If only one FRU is suspected, the other FRU code is filled with zeros. See the reference page before replacing the FRU.
