FRU Replacement Strategy
Ensure that all diskette fixes are installed prior to replacing
any FRUs. And, use the following strategy to prevent
unnecessary FRU replacement and service expense:
If you are instructed to replace a FRU and that
does not correct the problem, reinstall the original
FRU before you continue.
Some computers have both a processor board and a
system board. If you are instructed to replace either
the processor board or the system board, and the first
board that you replaced does not correct the problem,
reinstall the original board, then replace the other
(processor or system) board.
If an adapter or device consists of more than one
FRU, an error code may be caused by any of the
FRUs. Before replacing the adapter or device,
remove the FRUs, one by one, to see if the
symptoms change. Replace only the FRU that
changed the symptoms.
Attention
A customized setup configuration (other than default
settings) may exist on the computer you are servicing.
Running Automatic Configuration may alter those
settings. Note the current configuration settings (using
the View Configuration option) and verify that the
settings are in place when service is complete.
The advanced diagnostic tests are intended to test
only
IBM products. Non-IBM products or modified options can
give false errors and invalid responses.
