microprocessor is not working
correctly.

1. Correct any errors that are indicated by the EasyLED diagnostics LEDs (see

“EasyLED diagnostics panel” on page 17).

microprocessors match in speed and cache size.

3. (Trained service technician only) Reseat microprocessor 1.

4. (Trained service technician only) If there is no indication of which

microprocessor has failed, isolate the error by testing with one microprocessor
at a time.

the server each time:

a. (Trained service technician only) Microprocessor 2

b. VRM 2

c. (Trained service technician only) System board

6. (Trained service technician only) If multiple error codes or EasyLED diagnostics

LEDs indicate a microprocessor error, reverse the locations of two
microprocessors to determine whether the error is associated with a
microprocessor or with a microprocessor socket.

v

If the error is associated with a microprocessor, replace the microprocessor.

v

If the error is associated with a VRM, replace the VRM.
