Intermittent problems
Intermittent system hang problems can be caused by a variety of reasons that have nothing to do
with a hardware defect. These reasons include: cosmic radiation, electrostatic discharge, or
software errors. FRU replacement should be considered only when a recurring problem exists.
To analyze an intermittent problem:
1 Run the advanced diagnostic test for the system board in loop mode at least ten
times.
If any error is detected, replace the FRU.
If no error is detected, do not replace any FRU.
2 Rerun the test to verify that there are no more errors.
