PC Server 325 - Symptom-to-FRU Index

Applicable to: World-Wide

The Symptom-to-FRU Index lists beeps, errors, symptoms, and the possible causes. The most likely cause is listed first. Use this Symptom-to-FRU Index to help you decide which FRUs to have available when servicing the computer. This Index contains the following

Notes
1. In this Index POST error codes and Diagnostic error codes are listed separately.
2. For IBM devices not supported by this Symptom-to-FRU Index, refer to the manual for that device.
