IBM ValuePoint - Type 64xx symptom-to-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. Always begin with ¿General Checkout— in this supplement. This index can also be used to help you decide which FRUs to have available when servicing a computer. If you are unable to correct the problem using this index, go to ¿Undetermined Problem— in this supplement.

Notes:
1. If you have both an error message and an incorrect audio response, diagnose the error message first.
2. If you cannot run the diagnostic tests, but did receive a POST error message, diagnose the POST error message.
3. If you did not receive any error message, look for a description of your error symptoms in the first part of this index.
4. Check all power supply voltages before you replace the system board. (See ¿Power Supply— in the PS/ValuePoint Hardware Maintenance Manual .)
5. Check the hard disk drive jumper settings before you replace a hard disk drive. (See ¿Hard Disk Drive Jumper Settings— in this supplement.)

Important:
1. For all 64XX models, some errors are indicated with a series of beep codes (see ¿Model 64XX Beep Code Index— in this supplement).
2. For all 64XX models, the processor is a separate FRU from the system board; the processor is not included with the system board FRU (see ¿Before Replacing 64XX System Boards— on page 1 in this supplement).
3. The 486DX4 processor FRU consists of the processor and a voltage regulator. See ¿How to Diagnose 64XX system boards with 486DX4 Processors— in this supplement before replacing the system board on models with this processor installed.
