Installing the System Troubleshooting Troubleshooting This section provides basic server troubleshooting information. It is designed to help you diagnose common issues that can occur during server installation. Troubleshooting Methodology The server was tested prior to shipping. Failures encountered during installation can be due to damage that occurred in transit. Reseating connectors can clear problems that result from rough handling.
Installing the System Troubleshooting Table 1-13 describes what happens when the server is on with the operating system running, and you press the power button. Table 1-13 Server Power Button Functions When Server is On and OS is Running Action Reaction One to three seconds System power turns off (software controlled power off). Five seconds or longer System power turns off immediately (hard power off).
Installing the System Troubleshooting • Offline Diagnostic Environment (ODE) Operating System Boots with Problems If the operating system is running and you are experiencing problems, use the following tools to help solve the problem: • LEDs • Error Messages and event logs Intermittent Server Problems You can usually trace intermittent problems that occur during installation to power source problems, a loose connector, or some other hardware problem.
Installing the System Troubleshooting 1. Check the monitor controls. Adjust contrast and brightness as required. 2. Inspect all power and interconnecting cables. Check that all console connectors are fully engaged. 3. Check that all iLO MP board connectors are fully engaged. 4. Exercise the appropriate self-test features of the console software. Downloading and Installing the Latest Version of the Firmware HP makes every effort to provide you with the most current version of firmware.
Installing the System Troubleshooting Troubleshooting Using LEDs If you suspect a hardware failure during installation, the power and system LEDs, located on the front control panel, will help you identify the problem. The following sections describe their functions. You may want to back up your data or replace a component before it fails. The boot process will be monitored by the iLO MP. With the current ILO MP functionality, the four diagnostic LEDs are disabled (always off).
Installing the System Troubleshooting Table 1-15 Control Panel LEDs and Switches (Continued) Name Power Button Function Controls the power supply (turns system power on or off) if power is available to the power supply. (Controls both power supplies if two are installed). If power is off but power is available to the power supplies, pressing the power button does the following: • Momentarily (less than one second) turns on the power supplies and applies power to server circuits.
Installing the System Troubleshooting Power and System LEDs The power and system LEDs indicate the state of the system. When the system LED is blinking yellow or red, a problem exists. Table 1-16 provides system LED states. Table 1-16 System LED States System LED State Off ac power is off if power LED is off. Solid green Running OS. Blinking green Booting or running BCH. Blinking yellow (1/sec.) Attention: Alerts of levels 3–5 detected in the iLO MP logs.
