Intermittent
Symptom FRU/action
A problem occurs only
occasionally and is difficult to
detect.
1. Verify that:
v All cables and cords are connected securely to the rear of the computer and
attached options.
v When the computer is turned on, air is flowing from the rear of the computer
at the fan grill. If there is no airflow, the fan is not working. This causes the
computer to overheat and shut down.
v Ensure that the SCSI bus and devices are configured correctly and that the
last external device in each SCSI chain is terminated correctly.
2. Check the system error log.
