Collecting System State Information

If the information in the table above did not resolve your problem, continue with the
troubleshooting steps below.

1. Collect information: Collect information about the state at which the problem

occurs. POST (Power On Self Test) code and SEL (System Event Log) information
are necessary. System log information for the operating system may also be needed
by your service representative.

2. Take appropriate actions: Look up tables based on the collected information and

take appropriate actions.

3. Execute system diagnosis program: If you need to replace components, execute

system diagnosis program following the component replacement to confirm that the
system is working correctly following the replacement.

The following figure shows the system states possible. Below the figure are steps to
follow to troubleshoot the system at each state. If you know the state the system is in at the
time the problem occurs, collect the state information for that specific state.
