Use this procedure to lessen the effects of electrical noise (electromagnetic
interference, or EMI) on the system.
Ensure that air flow cards are installed in all adapter card slots
that are not used.
Keep all cables away from sources of electrical interference, such
as ac voltage lines, fluorescent lights, arc welding equipment, and radio
frequency (RF) induction heaters. These sources of electrical noise
can cause the system to become powered off.
If you have an expansion unit, ensure that the cables that attach
the system unit to the expansion unit are seated correctly.
Note:
If
the failures occur when people are close to the system or machines that are
attached to the system, the problem may be electrostatic discharge (ESD).
Have an installation planning representative use a radio
frequency (RF) field intensity meter to determine if there is an unusual amount
of RF noise near the server. You also can use it to help determine
the source of the noise. This ends the procedure.
