Afterasystemboardisreplaced,ensurethatthelatestBIOSisloadedtothesystemboardbefore

UsethefollowingstrategytopreventunnecessaryexpenseforreplacingandservicingFRUs:

•IfyouareinstructedtoreplaceaFRUbutthereplacementdoesnotcorrecttheproblem,reinstall

reinstallthatboard,andthenreplacetheotherone.

•IfanadapteroradeviceconsistsofmorethanoneFRU,anyoftheFRUsmaybethecauseoftheerror.
