viii IBM IntelliStation MPro Types 6220 and 6230: Hardware Maintenance Manual

General checkout
The diagnostic programs are on the hidden partition on the hard disk. These
programs are the primary method of testing the major components of the computer:
the system board, Ethernet controller, video adapter, RAM, keyboard, mouse
(pointing device), diskette drive, serial ports, hard disk drives, and parallel port. You
can also use them to test some external devices. See “Diagnostics” on page 17.
Also, if you cannot determine whether aproblem is caused by the hardware or by
the software, you can run the diagnostic programs to confirm that the hardware is
working correctly.
When you run the diagnostic programs, asingle problem might cause several error
messages. When this occurs, work to correct the cause of the first error message.
After the cause of the first error message is corrected, the other error messages
might not occur the next time you run the test.
Afailed computer might be part of ashared hard disk drive cluster (two or more
computers sharing the same external storage devices). Before running diagnostics,
make sure that the failing computer is not part of ashared hard disk drive cluster.
Acomputer might be part of acluster if any of the following are true:
vThe customer identifies the computer as part of acluster.
vOne or more external storage units are attached to the computer and at least
one of the attached storage units is additionally attached to another computer or
unidentifiable source.
vOne or more computers are located near the failing computer.
If the failing computer is suspected to be part of ashared hard disk drive cluster, all
diagnostic tests can be run except diagnostic tests that test the storage unit (a hard
disk drive in the storage unit) or the storage adapter that is attached to the storage
unit.
Notes:
1. For computers that are part of ashared hard disk drive cluster, run one test at
atime in looped mode. Do not run all tests in looped mode, because this could
enable the hard disk drive diagnostic tests.
2. If multiple error codes are displayed, diagnose the first error code that is
displayed.
3. If the computer is suspended with aPOST error, go to “Symptom-to-FRU
index” on page 99.
4. If the computer is suspended and no error message is displayed, see
“Undetermined problems” on page 115.
5. For information about power supply problems, see “Symptom-to-FRU index” on
page 99
6. For safety information, see “Safety information” on page 129.
7. For intermittent problems, check the error log; see “POST error log” on page 17
and “Undetermined problems” on page 115.
©Copyright IBM Corp. 2004 1

001 IS THE COMPUTER PART OF ACLUSTER?
YES. Schedule maintenance with the customer. Shut down all
computers related to the cluster. Run the storage test.
NO. Go to step 002.
002 IF THE COMPUTER IS NOT PART OF ACLUSTER:
vTurn off the computer and all external devices.
vCheck all cables and power cords.
vSet all display controls to the middle position.
vTurn on all external devices.
vTurn on the computer.
vRecord any POST error messages that are displayed on the
screen. If an error is displayed, look up the first error in the
“POST error codes” on page 109.
vCheck the system-error log. If an error was recorded by the
computer, see “Symptom-to-FRU index” on page 99.
vStart the diagnostic programs. See “Starting the diagnostic
programs and viewing the test log” on page 19.
vCheck for the following responses:
1. One beep
2. Readable instructions or the main menu
003 DID YOU RECEIVE BOTH OF THE CORRECT RESPONSES?
NO. Find the failure symptom in “Symptom-to-FRU index” on page
99.
YES. Run the diagnostic programs. If necessary, see “Diagnostic
programs and error messages” on page 18.
If you receive an error, see “Symptom-to-FRU index” on page 99.
If the diagnostics were completed successfully and you still suspect
aproblem, see “Undetermined problems” on page 115.

CD-eject button
Press this button to insert aCD into or remove aCD from the CD-ROM
drive.
Diskette drive activity LED
When this LED is lit, it indicates that the diskette drive is in use.
General information 7

Diskette-eject button
Press this button to release adiskette from the diskette drive.
Ethernet transmit/receive activity LED
When this LED is lit, it indicates that there is activity between the computer
and the network. There are two of these LEDs, one on the front and one on
the rear of the computer.
Ethernet link status LED
When this LED is lit, it indicates that there is an active connection on the
Ethernet port. This LED is located on the rear of the computer.
Hard disk drive activity LED
When this LED is lit, it indicates that the hard disk drive is in use.
IEEE 1394 connectors
Use these connectors (four-pin on the front and six-pin on the rear) to
connect IEEE 1394 devices, such as digital video cameras and external
hard disk drives.
Note: Some models come with the IEEE 1394 adapter installed. If your
computer did not come with this adapter installed, do not install any
adapter in the mini-PCI slot. It is not supported.
Line out connector (green)
Use this connector to send audio signals from the computer to external
devices, such as speakers with built-in amplifiers, headphones, multimedia
keyboards, or the audio line-in jack on astereo system.
Mic connector (pink)
Use this connector to connect amicrophone to your computer when you
want to record voices or other sounds on the hard disk. You can also use
this connector (and amicrophone) with speech recognition software.
Power-control button
Press this button to turn the computer on or off.
Power-on LED
When this LED is lit and not flashing, it indicates that the computer is
turned on. When this LED is flashing, it indicates that the computer is off
and still connected to an ac power source (standby mode).
System-error LED
When this amber LED is lit, it indicates that asystem error has occurred.
An LED on the system board is also lit to help isolate the error.
USB ports
Use these connectors to connect USB devices to your computer, using
redundant Plug and Play technology.
Turning on the computer
When the computer is connected to an ac power source but is not turned on, the
operating system does not run, and all core logic is shut down; however, the
computer can respond to remote requests to turn on the computer. The power-on
LED flashes to indicate that the computer is connected to an ac power source but is
not turned on (standby mode).
8IBM IntelliStation MPro Types 6220 and 6230: Hardware Maintenance Manual

Notes:
1. Turn on all external devices, such as the monitor, before turning on the
computer.
2. The power-on LED on the front of the computer is lit when the computer is on
and while it is being turned on.
3. You can install acircular disk over the power-control button to prevent the
computer from being turned off accidentally. This disk, known as the
power-control button shield, comes with your computer.
Approximately 20 seconds after the computer is connected to ac power, the
power-control button becomes active, and you can turn on the computer and start
the operating system by pressing the power-control button. The computer can also
be turned on in any of the following ways:
vIf apower failure occurs while the computer is turned on, the computer will
restart automatically when power is restored.
vWhen you connect your computer to power for the first time, the Wake on LAN
®
feature can turn on the computer. If your computer was previously turned on, it
must be properly turned off for the Wake on LAN feature to turn on the computer.
