10 Troubleshooting This chapter provides basic server troubleshooting information. It is designed to help you diagnose common issues that can occur during server installation. For more advanced troubleshooting tools and procedures, see the HP Integrity rx2620 User Service Guide.
Troubleshooting Troubleshooting Methodology Troubleshooting Methodology WARNING Always disconnect the power cords and unplug telephone cables before removing the server cover. Disconnect telephone cables to avoid exposure to shock hazard from telephone ringing voltages. Disconnect the power cords to avoid exposure to high energy levels that can cause burns when parts are short-circuited by metal objects such as tools or jewelry.
Troubleshooting Server Does Not Power Off If the server is off, and power is not connected to server power supplies, pressing the power button has no effect. NOTE Power problems during installation are usually related to the installation process. If the server does not power on, check the LED indicators on the power supply rear panels and follow these steps. • If the AC In indicators are lit, it is assumed that power is available to the server. • If a fault indicator is lit, reseat the power supply.
Troubleshooting EFI Menu is Not Available If the server is off, and power is connected to server power supplies, the front panel power LED blinks at a 1 Hz rate. In this state, standby power is available to server circuits, but main power is off. Table 10-3 describes what happens when the server is off, and you press the power button. Table 10-3 Server Power Button Functions When Server is Off Action 1-3 seconds Reaction System power turns on.
Troubleshooting Intermittent Server Problems 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. If you are experiencing intermittent problems, follow these steps: 1. Check MP logs and analyze the problem. Determine if there is more than one symptom and if the problem is random. 2. Verify that the AC power source is stable. 3. Reseat all rear panel connectors. 4.
Troubleshooting Console Problems Occur Console Problems Occur Console problems during installations can be caused by faulty interconnections. If you are experiencing monitor, keyboard, or mouse problems, follow these steps: 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 MP board connectors are fully engaged. 4.
