If a Precision 7960 Tower is receiving ePSA Error 2000-0712, check inside the air shroud. Look for Part Piece ID (PPID) labels that are attached to cables. PPID labels are labels that may contain a QR code and have a twenty-digit alphanumeric sequence written on them.

Confirm that there is no bad cable routing. Do not let the PPID label lay across the red line (right side of Figure 5). Do not let cables rest around where the red line is in Figure 5.
