H133653 - System Fails to Start POST After Power-on                          
                                                                                
                                                                                
                                                                                
 SYMPTOM:                                                                       
 IBM PS/ValuePoint Performance Series 6472, 6482, 6484, 6492,                   
 and 6494 systems may intermittently fail to start the Power                    
 On Self Test (POST) routines after the system is powered off,                  
 then on.                                                                       
                                                                                
 PROBLEM ISOLATION AIDS:                                                        
 The initial daily startup of the system functions normally.                    
 If the system is powered off for any reason, and quickly                       
 powered-on again, the system may intermittently fail to begin                  
 the POST routine.  The power supply fan is turning, the                        
 hardfile is spinning, and the power-on LED is on.                              
                                                                                
 FIX:                                                                           
 Users experiencing this situation should ensure that the system                
 unit is not powered-on for at least 10 seconds following power                 
 off.  This procedure allows the system board components                        
 sufficient time to drain and reset prior to the power-on cycle.                
 Due to component tolerances, some system boards may take as long               
 as 30 seconds before resetting.                                                
                                                                                
 If the system does not begin the POST routine after a 30-45                    
 second power-off cycle, continue normal problem determination                  
 to isolate the failing FRU.
