    If the diagnostic programs do not detect any hardware errors but the problem remains during normal server operations, a software error might be the cause. If you suspect a software problem, see the information that comes with your software. IBM System x3550 Type 7978 and 1913: Problem Determination and Service Guide…

  • Page 161: Diagnostic Text Messages

    A single problem might cause more than one error message. When this happens, correct the cause of the first error message. The other error messages usually will not occur the next time you run the diagnostic programs. Exception: If there are multiple error codes or diagnostics LEDs that indicate a microprocessor error, the error might be in a microprocessor or in a microprocessor socket.

Message: Memory DIMM n Status Scrub failure
detected. (n = DIMM number)

Severity: Error

Description: A memory scrub failure has been
detected.

Action:

Note: Each time you install or remove a DIMM,
you must disconnect the server from the power source; then, wait 10
seconds before restarting the server.

  1. Check the IBM support website for an applicable retain tip or
    firmware update that applies to this memory error.
  2. Make sure that the DIMMs are firmly seated and no foreign
    material is found in the DIMM connector. Then, retry with the same
    DIMM.
  3. If the problem is related to a DIMM, replace the failing DIMM
    indicated by the error LEDs.
  4. If the problem occurs on the same DIMM connector, swap the
    affected DIMMs (as indicated by the error LEDs on the system board
    or the event logs) to a different memory channel or
    microprocessor.
  5. (Trained technician only) If the problem occurs on the same
    DIMM connector, check the DIMM connector. If the connector contains
    any foreign material or is damaged, replace the system board.
  6. (Trained technician only) Remove the affected microprocessor
    and check the microprocessor socket pins for any damaged pins. If a
    damage is found, replace the system board.
  7. (Trained technician only) Swap the affected microprocessor, if
    there are more than one microprocessor installed. If the problem
    follows the microprocessor, replace the affected
    microprocessor.
  8. (Trained technician only) Replace the system board.

IBMОписание тревоги индикатора сервера

1. Панель диагностики светового тракта

Кнопка напоминания:Эта кнопка устанавливает индикатор системной ошибки на передней панели как режим напоминания. В режиме напоминания загорается индикатор системной ошибки.Мигает раз в секунду,Пока проблема не будет исправлена, система перезапустится или возникнет новая проблема. Установив индикатор системной ошибки в режим напоминания, вы можете подтвердить, что знаете о предыдущем сбое, но не принимаете немедленных мер для устранения проблемы. Функция напоминания контролируетсяIMM контроль.

NMI Кнопка:Нажмите эту кнопку, чтобы микропроцессор сгенерировал немаскируемое прерывание. Это позволяет сделать синий экран сервера и выполнить дамп памяти (только еслиIBM Эту кнопку можно использовать только по указанию обслуживающего персонала).

Экран кода контрольной точки:На этом экране отображается код контрольной точки, указывающий, что система остановится в этой точке во время блока загрузки и POST.

Код контрольной точки — это значение байта или слово, сгенерированное UEFI. На этом экране не отображаются коды ошибок или рекомендуемые компоненты для замены.

кнопка сброса:Нажмите эту кнопку, чтобы перезагрузить сервер и запустить самотестирование при включении (POST). Для нажатия кнопки может потребоваться кончик ручки или конец выпрямленной канцелярской скрепки. Кнопка сброса расположена в правом нижнем углу панели диагностики светового тракта.

over spec Индикатор:Когда этот световой индикатор горит, это означает, что потребность в мощности превышает указанный источник питания.

log Индикатор:Когда этот индикатор горит, это означает, что в журнале событий есть ошибка, и вам следует проверить журнал событий.

linkИндикатор: Когда этот индикатор горит, сетевая карта неисправна.
psИндикатор:Когда этот световой индикатор горит, это указывает на отказ источника питания.
pci Индикатор:Если этот индикатор горит, это означает, что на шине PCI возникла ошибка.
sp Индикатор:Когда этот индикатор горит, это указывает на то, что потоковый процессор обнаружил ошибку (роль sp заключается в обработке данных, переданных ЦП, и преобразовании их в цифровой сигнал, который может быть распознан дисплеем после обработки)

fan: Когда этот индикатор горит, это означает, что охлаждающий вентилятор или вентилятор блока питания вышел из строя или работает слишком медленно. Отказ вентилятора также может вызватьtemp Световой индикатор горит.

temp Индикатор: Когда этот индикатор горит, это означает, что температура системы слишком высока.

mem Индикатор: Когда этот индикатор горит, это означает, что произошла ошибка памяти.
nmi Индикатор:Когда этот индикатор горит, это означает, что произошло немаскируемое прерывание (nmi)。
cnfgИндикатор: Когда этот индикатор горит, это означаетBIOSОшибка конфигурации.
cpu Индикатор:Когда этот индикатор горит, это означает, что микропроцессор вышел из строя.
vrm Индикатор:Когда этот индикатор горит, это означает, чтоvrm произошла ошибка.
dasd Индикатор:Когда этот индикатор горит, это означает, что произошел сбой жесткого диска с возможностью горячей замены.
raid Индикатор:Когда этот индикатор горит, это означает, что карта массива неисправна.
brd Индикатор:Когда этот индикатор горит, это означает, что подключенныйi/o Блок расширения неисправен.

2. Информационная панель оператора

Крышка кнопки управления питанием:Сдвиньте крышку на кнопку управления питанием, чтобы предотвратить случайное выключение сервера.

Кнопка управления питанием:Нажмите эту кнопку, чтобы вручную включить и выключить сервер.

Источник питанияИндикатор:Если индикатор горит и не мигает, это означает, что сервер включен; если индикатор мигает, это означает, что сервер выключен и все еще подключен к источнику переменного тока; если индикатор не горит, это означает, что нет питания переменного тока или источника питания, или сам индикатор неисправен . Заметка:Если этот индикатор не горит, это не означает, что на сервере нет питания. Световой индикатор может перегореть. Чтобы полностью отключить питание сервера, необходимо вынуть шнур питания из розетки.

Индикатор значка Ethernet:Этот индикатор загорается значком Ethernet.

Индикатор активности Ethernet:Если эти индикаторы мигают, это означает, что между сервером и сетью существует активность на указанном ими порте.

Индикатор локатора:Используйте этот индикатор, чтобы найти целевой сервер среди множества серверов невооруженным глазом. можно использоватьIBM Director Световой индикатор можно включить дистанционно или вручную, нажав кнопку локатора. Этот индикатор также загорится при запуске. Если в многоузловой конфигурации этот индикатор мигает, это означает, что соответствующий ему сервер является главным узлом. Если индикатор продолжает гореть, это означает, что соответствующий ему сервер является вторичным узлом.

Кнопка локатора:Нажмите эту кнопку, чтобы вручную включить или выключить индикатор локатора. В многоузловой конфигурации нажмите эту кнопку, чтобы включить или выключить индикаторы локатора всех узлов в конфигурации.

Информационный индикатор:Если этот индикатор горит, это означает, что какой-то аспект сервера находится не в оптимальном состоянии, и при диагностике светового пути загорится еще один индикатор, помогающий определить проблему. Только после того, как проблема будет решена или будет нажата кнопка напоминания, световой индикатор и световой индикатор на диагностической панели светового тракта погаснут.

Индикатор системной ошибки:Если этот индикатор горит, это означает, что произошла системная ошибка. Индикатор на диагностической панели светового тракта также загорится, чтобы помочь найти эту ошибку.
