If you are installing a new microprocessor, leave the release lever up so that the socket is ready for the new microprocessor. If any of the pins on the microprocessor appear bent, see " Getting Help. Because the system uses a ZIF microprocessor socket, you do not need to use force which could bend the pins if the microprocessor is misaligned.
When the microprocessor is positioned correctly, it should drop down into the socket with minimal pressure. As the system boots, it detects the presence of the new microprocessor and automatically changes the system configuration information in the System Setup program. See " Running the System Diagnostics " for information on running the diagnostics and troubleshooting any problems that may occur.
The five system-board cooling fans and two power-supply cooling fans must be installed and operational at all times. A blinking amber LED next to a fan power connector indicates a faulty fan that needs to be replaced. The system battery is a 3. The operating life of the battery ranges from 2 to 5 years, depending on how you use the system for example, if you keep the system on most of the time, the battery gets little use and thus lasts longer.
You may need to replace the battery if an incorrect time or date is displayed during the boot routine. You can operate the system without a battery; however, the system configuration information maintained by the battery in NVRAM is erased each time you remove power from the system.
Therefore, you must re-enter the system configuration information and reset the options each time the system boots until you replace the battery. Installing the System Battery. The brackets also keep dust and dirt out of the system and aid in proper cooling and airflow inside the system. Ensure that all expansion cards are properly seated, and then reboot the system. Microprocessor frequency mismatch. Occurs when the front-side external bus speed of a microprocessor is not MHz.
If video is available, a screen message identifies the faulty microprocessor. Replace the microprocessor. If video is not available, replace microprocessor 1 and then, if the problem persists, replace microprocessor 2.
Remove and reseat the specified microprocessor. A warning message alerts you to a possible problem and asks you to take corrective action before the system continues a task. For example, before you format a diskette, a message may warn you that you may lose all data on the diskette, as a way to protect against inadvertently erasing or writing over the data. These warning messages usually interrupt the procedure and require you to respond by typing y yes or n no.
When you run a test group or subtest in the system diagnostics, an error message may result. These particular error messages are not covered in this section. Record the message on a copy of the Diagnostics Checklist see " Getting Help " , and then follow the instructions in that section for obtaining technical assistance. The optional system management software generates alert messages for your system.
For example, the server agent software generates messages that appear in the SNMP trap log file. Alert messages consist of information, status, warning, and failure messages for drive, temperature, fan, and power conditions.
More information about alert messages is provided in the system management software documentation found on the documentation CD that shipped with your system. Power is on, and the system is operational. The indicator has been activated to identify the system in a rack.
The power-on indicator lights when the system power is on. The power button controls the DC power supply output to the system.
Connects a USB 1. The drive-activity indicator also blinks when the drive is being accessed. Green indicates that a valid power source is connected to the system. Red indicates a problem with the power supply. Green indicates that the power supply is operational.
NOTE: If you receive a system message that is not listed in Table , check the documentation for the application that is running when the message appears or the operating system's documentation for an explanation of the message and recommended action.
