1

(1 of 7)

Software

a. Have customer verify that the software is configured

and operating correctly for this processor
node/system.

b. If no problem is found, continue with next highest

priority item in the list for this SRN.

c. Otherwise, power off this processor node and continue

2

(2 of 7)

External clock

a. Check to see if a switch clock cable is connected at

switch adapter of this processor node.

b. If clock cable exists, reseat switch clock cable;

otherwise reseat switch data cable.

c. Run advanced diagnostics on the device “css0” and its

associated switch port.

d. If diagnostics fail with the previous SRN, check at

least one other processor node for indication of a
clock problem. If necessary, run advanced diagnostics
on this other node, using the device “css0” and its
associated switch port.

e. If more than one node has a clock problem, go to

“Step 0620-013” on page 1-28.

f. Replace the switch clock cable or switch data cable

that was just reseated in step 2 above.
