You are here because the diagnostic tests did not identify
which adapter or device failed, installed devices are incorrect,
a short circuit is suspected, or the system is inoperative.
Follow the procedures below to isolate the failing
FRU (do not isolate nondefective FRUs).
Verify that all attached devices are supported by the computer.
Verify that
the power supply being used at the time of the failure is operating
correctly.
(See 'Power Systems Checkout'.)
