    7. Is the system a model 561 with a voltage regulator configuration that is not redundant (one voltage regulator card and one processor card or two voltage regulator cards and two processor cards)?
      • No: Go to step 8.
      • Yes: Replace the regulator distribution connection backplane (see SYSBKPL). This ends the procedure.
  5. Perform the following:
    1. Power off the system and disconnect the ac power cable from the unit you are working on.
    2. Disconnect all of the I/O devices (tape, diskette, optical, and disk units) from the unit you are working on by sliding them partially out of the unit (see Locations — model 561 and 570).
    3. Remove and label all cards (for example, PCI adapters, memory DIMMs, GX adapter(s), RIO/HSL and RAID cards if installed).
    4. Reconnect the ac power cable to the unit you are working on.
    5. Power on the system.

    Does a power reference code occur?

    • Yes: Continue with the next step.
    • No: Go to step 10.
  6. Perform the following:
    1. Power off the system.
    2. Replace one of the system fans (see Locations — model 561 and 570).
    3. Power on the system.

    Does a power reference code occur?

    • Yes: Continue with the next step.
    • No: The fan you just replaced was the failing item.

      This ends the procedure.

  7. Have you tried replacing all of the fans?
    • Yes: Reinstall all of the fans you replaced in step 6 and continue with the next step.
    • No: Perform the following:
      1. Power off the system.

    4. Does a power reference code occur?
      • Yes: Continue with step 8.e.
      • No: The voltage regulator card you just replaced was the failing item. This ends the procedure.
    5. Have all of the voltage regulator cards been replaced?
      • Yes: Continue with step 8.f.
      • No: Repeat step 8 and replace the next voltage regulator card.
    6. Is the system a model 561 with a voltage regulator configuration that is not redundant (one voltage regulator card and one processor card or two voltage regulator cards and two processor cards)?
      • Yes: Go to step 4.b.
      • No: Continue with step 9.
  9. Replace the regulator distribution connection backplane (see SYSBKPL). This ends the procedure.
  10. Perform the following:
    1. Power off the system.
    2. Reinstall all of the cards (PCI adapters, memory DIMMs, GX adapter(s), RIO/HSL and RAID cards) you removed in step 5 to their original locations.
    3. Power on the system.
