IBM ValuePoint - System hang or operating system error

Applicable to: World-Wide

Symptom:
PS/ValuePoint Performance Series system with Level 2 Cache fails with an operating system error (such as TRAP, Fatal Error, Panic Error, Critical System Error, General Protection Fault, etc.) or hangs with no error message displayed.

Problem Isolation Aids:
Use the System Configuration Utility to disable the level 2 cache and attempt to reproduce the error. If the error continues after the L2 cache is disabled, this tip does not apply. Re-enable the L2 Cache and continue with normal problem determination. If the error cannot be reproduced with the L2 cache disabled, this tip applies.

Note:
Each time the system is powered on, L2 cache is automatically re-enabled.

Fix:
Replace the Level 2 cache modules using FRU p/n92G7430 for 128KB and FRU p/n92G7431 for 256Kb.
