The IBM PS/ValuePoint (PS/VP) Hardware Maintenance
Manual contains
IBM PS/ValuePoint computers.
The service section of this manual includes
procedures for isolating problems to a FRU, a
Symptom-to-FRU Index, and a parts listing.
The reference section of this manual includes safety
information, general information, product description,
and information about the diagnostic tests.
The manual should be used with the diagnostic tests
(found on the Diagnostics diskette) to effectively
troubleshoot problems.
Important
This manual is intended for trained servicers who
are familiar with PS/ValuePoint products.
Before servicing a PS/ValuePoint product, review
“Safety Information” on page 28.
Refer to the following table to use the correct
“Advanced Diagnostics” diskette for the computer
you are servicing.

Hardware Maintenance Service
This section contains a general checkout and diagnostic
test procedure, a Symptom-to-FRU Index, procedures for
isolating problems to a FRU, and a parts catalog for IBM
PS/ValuePoint* (PS/VP) computers.
The diagnostic tests in this manual are intended to test
only
PS/ValuePoint products. Non-PS/ValuePoint
products, prototype cards, or modified options can give
false errors and invalid computer responses.
Warning: The drives in the computer you are servicing
might have been rearranged or the drive startup sequence
changed. Be extremely careful during write operations
such as copying, saving, or formatting. Data or programs
can be overwritten if you select an incorrect drive.
How to Diagnose Combined FRUs: If an
adapter or device consists of more than one FRU, an error
code might be caused by any of the FRUs. Before
replacing the adapter or device, remove the FRUs, one by
one, to see if the symptoms change.
Notes:
1. If you are instructed to replace the system board and
that does not correct the problem, replace the riser
card and reinstall the original system board.
2. If you are instructed to replace any other FRU and
that does not correct the problem, reinstall that FRU
before you continue.
*
How to Use Error Messages: Use the error
messages displayed on the screen to diagnose failures. If
more than one error message is displayed, diagnose the
first error message. The cause of the first error message
can cause false error messages to be displayed. If you
did not receive any error messages, see if the error
symptom is listed in the “Symptom-to-FRU Index” on
page 12.
The general checkout procedure starts on the next page.

Installed Devices List
Warning: A customized setup configuration (other than
default settings) might exist on the computer you are
servicing. Running the Configuration Utility program might
alter those settings. Note the current configuration settings
and verify that the settings are in place when service is
complete.
If the number of diskette drives shown in the installed
devices list is not correct
1. Restart the computer.
2. Run the Configuration Utility program to correct the
drive information.
3. Run the diagnostic tests.
If you cannot correct the drive information, replace FRUs,
in the following order, until the problem goes away:
Diskette drive
Diskette-drive cable
System board
If the number of hard disk drives shown in the installed
devices list is not correct
1. Check the hard disk drive jumper settings (see “Hard
Disk Drive Jumper Settings” on page 68).
2. Check the voltages to the hard disk drives (see
“Power Supply” on page 6).
3. Restart the computer and check the configuration.
If the first drive is missing, replace the primary
drive.
If all drives are missing, replace the primary
drive.
If just the second drive is missing, replace that
drive.
If the problem remains, replace the drive cable. If
that does not fix the problem, replace the system
board.
If any other adapter or device is missing from the installed
devices list, run the Configuration Utility program. Check
to see if any adapter or device is set to a conflicting
address with any other adapter or device. Also be sure
that any adapter or device missing from the list is not set
to “disabled”
Note: If you cannot add a missing adapter or device to
.
the list, the diagnostic code for the missing adapter
or device is not on the diagnostic diskette. Run the
diagnostics provided with that device.

Symptom-to-FRU Index
The Symptom-to-FRU Index lists error symptoms and
possible causes. The most likely cause is listed first.
Always begin with “General Checkout” on page 2. This
index can also be used to help you decide which FRUs to
have available when servicing a computer. If you are
unable to correct the problem using this index, go to
“Undetermined Problem” on page 5.
Notes:
1. If you have both an error message and an incorrect
audio response, diagnose the error message first.
2. If you cannot run the diagnostic tests, but did receive
a POST error message, diagnose the POST error
message.
3. If you did not receive any error message, look for a
description of your error symptoms in the first part of
this index.
4. Check all power supply voltages before you replace
the system board. (See “Power Supply” on page 6.)
5. Check the hard disk drive jumper settings before you
replace a hard disk drive. (See “Hard Disk Drive
Jumper Settings Checkout” on page 51.)
Important
For the 6381, some errors are indicated with a
series of beep codes (see “Model 6381 Beep
Code Index” on page 17).
The 6384 P60/D uses the same POST error
codes as other PS/ValuePoint computers;
however, it uses unique diagnostic numeric error
codes. In the following Symptom-to-FRU Index,
all 6384 P60/D diagnostic numeric error codes
include the message “(6384 P60/D only).”
For the 6384 /D, if a SoundBlaster card is
installed, beeps operate through the
SoundBlaster card. If a “No Beep” error occurs,
remove the SoundBlaster card and power-on the
computer. If normal beeps occur, replace the
SoundBlaster card.

Safety Information
The following section contains the safety information
required to service a PS/ValuePoint computer. Familiarize
yourself with this information before servicing a
PS/ValuePoint computer.
General Safety
Use these rules to ensure general safety:
Observe good housekeeping in the area of the
machines during maintenance and after completing it.
When lifting any heavy object:
1. Ensure you can stand safely without slipping.
2. Distribute the weight of the object equally
between your feet.
3. Use a slow lifting force. Never move suddenly
or twist when you attempt to lift.
4. Lift by standing or by pushing up with your leg
muscles; this action removes the strain from the
muscles in your back.
objects that weigh more than 16 kg (35 lb) or
objects that you think are too heavy for you.
Do not perform any action that causes hazards to the
customer or that makes the equipment unsafe.
Before you start the machine, ensure that other
service representatives and the customer's personnel
are not in a hazardous position.
Put removed covers and other parts in a safe place,
away from all personnel, while you are servicing the
machine.
Keep your tool case away from walk areas so that
other people will not trip over it; for example, put it
under a desk or table.
Do not wear loose clothing that can be trapped in the
moving parts of a machine. Ensure that your sleeves
are fastened or rolled up above your elbows. If your
hair is long, fasten it.
Insert the ends of your necktie or scarf inside other
clothing or fasten the necktie with a clip, preferably
nonconductive, approximately 8 cm (3 in.) from the
end.
Do not wear jewelry, chains, metal-frame eyeglasses,
or metal fasteners for your clothing.
Remember: Metal objects are excellent conductors.
Wear safety glasses when you are:
– Using a hammer to drive pins or similar parts
– Drilling with a power hand-drill
– Using spring hooks or attaching springs
– Soldering parts
– Cutting wire or removing steel bands
– Cleaning parts with solvents, chemicals, or
cleaning fluids
Do not attempt to lift any
28PS/ValuePoint HMM
– Working in any other conditions that might be
hazardous to your eyes.
After maintenance, reinstall all safety devices such as
shields, guards, labels, and ground wires. Exchange
any safety device that is worn or defective for a new
one.
Remember: Safety devices protect personnel from
hazards. You destroy the purpose of the devices if
you do not reinstall them before completing your
service call.
Reinstall all covers correctly before returning the
machine to the customer.
Safety Inspection Guide
The intent of this inspection guide is to assist you in
identifying potentially unsafe conditions on these products.
Each machine, as it was designed and built, had required
safety items installed to protect users and service
personnel from injury. This guide addresses only those
items. However, good judgment should be used to identify
potential safety hazards due to attachment of non-IBM
features or options not covered by this inspection guide.
If any unsafe conditions are present, you must determine
how serious the apparent hazard could be and whether
you can continue without first correcting the problem.
Consider these conditions and the safety hazards they
present:
Electrical hazards, especially primary power: primary
voltage on the frame can cause serious or fatal
electrical shock.
Explosive hazards, such as a damaged CRT face or
bulging capacitor, can cause serious injury.
Mechanical hazards, such as loose or missing
hardware, can cause serious injury.
The guide consists of a series of steps presented in a
checklist. Begin the checks with the power-off and the
power cord removed from the power receptacle.
Checklist:
1. Check exterior covers for damage (loose, broken, or
sharp edges).
2. Power-off the computer. Disconnect the power cord
from the electrical outlet.
3. Check the power cord for:
a. A third-wire ground connector in good condition.
Use a meter to measure third-wire ground
continuity for 0.1 ohm or less between the
external ground pin and frame ground.
b. Insulation must not be frayed or worn.
4. Remove the cover.
Hardware Maintenance Reference
29
5. Check for any obvious non-IBM alterations. Use
good judgment as to the safety of any non-IBM
alterations.
6. Check inside the unit for any obvious unsafe
conditions, such as metal filings, contamination, water
or other liquids, or signs of fire or smoke damage.
7. Check for worn, frayed, or pinched cables.
8. Check that the power-supply cover fasteners (screws
or rivets) have not been removed or tampered with.
Changing the Battery
Follow any special handling and installation instructions
supplied with the replacement battery.
CAUTION:
A danger of explosion exists if battery is incorrectly
replaced.
Replace with only the same or equivalent type
recommended by the manufacturer. Dispose of used
batteries according to the manufacturer's instructions.
Any computer part containing transistors or integrated
circuits (ICs) should be considered sensitive to electrostatic
discharge (ESD). ESD damage can occur when there is a
difference in charge between objects. Protect against ESD
damage by equalizing the charge so that the machine, the
part, the work mat, and the person handling the part are all
at the same charge.
Notes:
1. Use product-specific ESD procedures when they
exceed the requirements noted here.
2. Make sure that the ESD protective devices you use
have been certified (ISO 9000) as fully effective.
When handling ESD-sensitive parts:
Keep the parts in protective packages until they are
inserted into the product.
Avoid contact with other people.
Wear a grounded wrist strap against your skin to
eliminate static on your body.
Prevent the part from touching your clothing. Most
clothing is insulative and retains a charge even when
you are wearing a wrist strap.
Use the black side of a grounded work mat to provide
a static-free work surface. The mat is especially
useful when handling ESD-sensitive devices.
Select a grounding system, such as those listed
below, to provide protection that meets the specific
service requirement.
30PS/ValuePoint HMM
Note: The use of a grounding system is desirable
but not required to protect against ESD
damage.
– Attach the ESD ground clip to any frame ground,
ground braid, or green-wire ground.
– Use an ESD common ground or reference point
when working on a double-insulated or
battery-operated computer. You can use coax or
connector-outside shells on these computers.
– Use the round ground-prong of the AC plug on
AC-operated computer.
Electrical Safety
Observe the following rules when working on electrical
equipment:
Find the room emergency power-off (EPO) switch or
disconnecting switch. If an electrical accident occurs,
you can then operate the switch quickly.
Do not work alone under hazardous conditions or
near equipment that has hazardous voltages.
Disconnect all power:
– Before doing a mechanical inspection
– Before working near power supplies
– Before removing or installing main units
Before you start to work on the machine, unplug its
power cable. If you cannot unplug the cable, ask the
customer to switch off the wall box that supplies
power to the machine and to lock the wall box in the
off position.
If you need to work on a machine that has
electrical circuits, observe the following precautions:
– Ensure that another person, familiar with the
power-off controls, is near you.
Remember: Another person must be there to
switch off the power, if necessary.
CAUTION:
Some hand tools have handles covered with
a soft material that does not insulate you
when working with live electrical currents.
Use only approved tools and testers.
– Use only one hand when working with powered
on electrical equipment; keep the other hand in
your pocket or behind your back.
Remember: There must be a complete circuit to
cause electrical shock. By observing the above
rule, you might prevent a current from passing
through your body.
– When using testers, set the controls correctly
and use the approved probe leads and
accessories for that tester.
exposed
Hardware Maintenance Reference

CAUTION:
Many customers have, near their equipment,
rubber floor mats that contain small
conductive fibers to decrease electrostatic
discharges. Do not use this type of mat to
protect yourself from electrical shock.
– Stand on suitable rubber mats (obtained locally,
if necessary) to insulate you from grounds such
as metal floor strips and machine frames.
Observe the special safety precautions when you
work with very high voltages; these instructions are in
the safety sections of maintenance information. Use
extreme care when measuring high voltages.
Regularly inspect and maintain your electrical hand
tools for safe operational condition.
Do not use worn or broken tools and testers.
Never assume
from a circuit. First,
that power has been disconnected
check
that it has been switched
off.
Always look carefully for possible hazards in your
work area. Examples of these hazards are moist
floors, nongrounded power extension cables, power
surges, and missing safety grounds.
Do not touch live electrical circuits with the reflective
surface of a plastic dental mirror. The surface is
conductive; such touching can cause personal injury
and machine damage.
Do not service the following parts
with the power on
when they are removed from their normal operating
places in a machine:
– Power supply units
– Pumps
– Blowers and fans
– Motor generators
and similar units. (This practice ensures correct
grounding of the units.)
If an electrical accident occurs:
– Use caution; do not become a victim
yourself.
– Switch off power.
– Send another person to get medical aid.

Startup Sequence
When the computer starts, it looks for operating system
files on a diskette and then on the hard disk. If there is a
diskette in the diskette drive that does not contain the
operating system files, most computers send an error
message and stop operating.
The PS/ValuePoint computer, however, has a
smart
startup sequence that automatically looks for operating
system files on the hard disk if the files are not found on a
diskette.
Note: On some models, selectable boot can be selected
directly from the configuration utility screen.
Serial Port
The computer has either one or two serial ports. Each
serial port has a special
address
(identifying location)
assigned to it. If you add adapter cards to the computer
that have additional serial ports, you must ensure that
each serial port has a different address.
The Serial Port option lets you change the serial port
addresses. If you change serial port addresses on the
Configuration Utility screen, you also might need to make
changes to the software. For instructions on changing the
software, see the user’s guide or online information that
came with the software.
Parallel Port
The computer has one parallel port with a special
address
(identifying location) assigned to it. If you add adapter
cards to the computer that have additional parallel ports,
you must ensure that each parallel port has a different
address.
The Parallel Port option lets you change the parallel port
addresses. If you change parallel port addresses on the
Configuration Utility screen, you also might need to make
changes to the software. For instructions on changing the
software, see the user’s guide or online information that
came with the software.

Formatting a Hard Disk Drive: Hard disk drives
normally contain tracks in excess of their stated capacity to
allow for defective tracks. The user is notified by a
diagnostic message when the defect limit has been
reached and service is recommended.
The Diagnostics Format program is different from the
operating system format program. Before the customer
can transfer information from the backup diskettes to the
hard disk drive, the hard disk drive must be formatted
using the operating system format program. Have the
customer refer to the operating system manual for a
description of the hard disk preparation commands.
Note: The Diagnostics Format program on this diskette
might damage non-IBM hard disk drives. Refer to
the documentation that came with the drive for
low-level formatting information.
Warning: All data on the selected hard disk drive is
destroyed during a format operation or surface analysis.
