      Note: If a fan reference code occurs during this step, ignore it.
    3. Power on the system. See Powering on and powering off the system .

    Does a power reference code occur?

    • Yes: Continue with the next step.
    • No: The fan you removed in this step is the failing item.

      This ends the procedure.

  3. Have you removed all of the fans one at a time?
    • No: Perform the following:
      1. Power off the system. See Powering on and powering off the system .
      2. Reinstall the fan that you removed in step 2 into its original location.
      3. Repeat step 2.
    • Yes: Reinstall all of the fans and continue with the next step.
  4. Perform the following:
    Note: If there are no DASD installed in this enclosure, go to step 6.
    1. Power off the system. See Powering on and powering off the system .
    2. Remove the I/O tower power supply cable, at the DASD backplane, that you have not previously removed.
    3. Power on the system. See Powering on and powering off the system .

    Does a power reference code occur?

    • No: The DASD backplane that was disconnected in this step is the failing item.

      This ends the procedure.

    • Yes: Continue with the next step.
  5. Have you disconnected the power cables from each of the DASD backplanes one at a time?
    • Yes: Continue with the next step.
    • No: Repeat step 4.
  6. Perform the following:
    1. Power off the system. See Powering on and powering off the system .
    2. Remove a power supply that you have not previously removed, and replace it with a new one.
    3. Power on the system. See Powering on and powering off the system .

    Does a power reference code occur?

    • Yes: Continue with the next step.
    • No: The power supply that was removed in this step is the failing item.

      This ends the procedure.

  7. Have you removed all of the power supplies one at a time?
    • Yes: Perform the following:
      1. Remove the new power supply that you installed in step 6 and reinstall the original power supply.
      2. Replace the I/O backplane if you are working on a 7311-D11, 7314-G30, 5790, 5796, or 5802 and 5877. Replace the tower backplane if you are working on a 5095 or 0595.

        This ends the procedure.

    • No: Remove the new power supply that you installed in step 6 and reinstall the original power supply. Then, repeat step 6.
  8. Perform the following:
    1. Power off the system. See Powering on and powering off the system .
    2. Reinstall all of the cards you removed in step 1.
    3. Power on the system. See Powering on and powering off the system .

    Does a power reference code occur?

    • Yes: Continue with the next step.
    • No: Go to step 11.
  9. Perform the following:
    1. Power off the system. See Powering on and powering off the system .
    2. Disconnect one of the cards you reconnected in step 8.
    3. Power on the system. See Powering on and powering off the system .

    Does a power reference code occur?

    • Yes: Continue with the next step.
    • No: Exchange the last card you disconnected in this step. See System FRU locations for information on the FRU location for the system that you are servicing. Reinstall all the parts.

      This ends the procedure.

  10. Have you disconnected all the cards?
    • No: Repeat step 9.
