Use the following procedure for diagnosing power problems for the IBM PC Server
Rack Enclosure and IBM Rack enclosure (Type 9306).
Attention:
• For Models 4QS, 4QX, 9QS, 9QX, 9TS, 9TX only:
Ensure that the voltage selector switch on each server installed in the server rack
is set to 230 V ac.

Ensure that the voltage selector switch on each server installed in the server rack
is set to the proper voltage as supplied by the Power Distribution Unit, PDU.
1. Check the following:
• Ensure the external power cord is in good condition and properly connected
to a known-good power source.
• Ensure the internal power cables are in good condition and properly
connected. (The internal power cables connect between the power
distribution unit and the servers installed in the server rack.)
• Ensure the following devices are powered on.
a. Power distribution unit

2. If the items/conditions in step 1. are not okay, correct the problem and verify
correct operation of the server rack.
3. If the items/conditions specified in step 1. are okay, then, using the server selector
keypad buttons, check for correct operation of all the servers installed in the rack.
4. Did the failure occur on more than one server?
• No: Go to the Hardware Maintenance manual for the server that was selected
when the failure occurred and run the server diagnostic programs. If the
problem still remains, replace the power distribution unit.
