This does not indicate an issue with your Xserve G5.

This alert is caused by a reporting issue in the software.

You can either ignore the "failure" or turn off the "CPU.G5.CPU Slot Number Verify" test by following these steps:

1. Optionally, start by making a backup copy of the test definition file that you will be modifying. Two files have the same test - quick.tdf and extended.tdf. Copies of these files are found in ~/Library/Application Support/xrdiags/.

2. Using a text editor such as TextEdit, open either or both of the test definition files mentioned in step 1 (quick.tdf and extended.tdf).

3. Navigate to the line of the file that looks like the following:

   In quick.tdf:

   TEST    1       FALSE   "CPU.G5"        QUICK   OF      SA      3
   [commodity-type='CPU_',model="970+"]    "CPU Slot Number Verify"
   "Verify the CPU slot number in the cpuid rom and the physical MLB slot match and is valid."     ""      ""      ""

   In extended.tdf:

   TEST    1       FALSE   "CPU.G5"        EXTENDED   OF      SA      3
   [commodity-type='CPU_',model="970+"]    "CPU Slot Number Verify"
   "Verify the CPU slot number in the cpuid rom and the physical MLB slot match
   and is valid."     ""      ""      ""

4. Either delete the line in its entirety, or simply add a hash mark (#) to the beginning of the line, to comment the line out. For example:

   #TEST    1       FALSE   "CPU.G5"        QUICK   OF      SA      3
   [commodity-type='CPU_',model="970+"]    "CPU Slot Number Verify"
   "Verify the CPU slot number in the cpuid rom and the physical MLB slot match and is valid."     ""      ""      ""

5. Save changes and close the document. That step will no longer be included the next time Xserve Remote Diagnostics are run.

This document will be updated when more information becomes available.
