H165467:  ON/OFF SWITCH NOT WORKING AFTER SYSTEM CATASTROPHIC FAILURE


 TEXT:

 On/Off switch will not work after system catastrophic failure.

 SYMPTOM:

 System may not respond to the On/Off switch once it has been
 shut down due a catastrophic failure. Over voltage errors may
 get logged in the system error log.  These errors are a
 possible cause of catastrophic failures.

 PROBLEM ISOLATION AIDS:

 - The system is a Netfinity 7000 M10 server, Type 8680,
   any Model.

 WORKAROUND:

 If the system shuts down due to a catastrophic failure, un-plug
 the AC cord and wait about 10 seconds before connecting again.
 Power the system once AC cord is connected. If system does not
 respond, remove AC cord and then replace the 5V regulator card
 at the rear of system. Plug AC cord and re-start.
