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 rx4640 User Service Guide. This chapter addresses the following topics: • “Troubleshooting Methodology” on page 104. • “Server Does Not Power On” on page 105. • “Server Does Not Power Off ” on page 105. • “EFI Menu is Not Available” on page 106.
Troubleshooting Troubleshooting Methodology Troubleshooting Methodology WARNING Always disconnect the power cords before removing the server cover. 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. CAUTION Do not operate the server for more than two minutes with any cover removed. The covers also provide EMI containment and direct airflow within the chassis.
Troubleshooting Server Does Not Power On Server Does Not Power On The server power button on the front panel operates differently depending on how long the button is held in, and on what the server is doing when the button is pressed. You must be aware of its uses to properly troubleshoot the server. 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.
Troubleshooting EFI Menu is Not Available Table 10-2 describes what happens when the server is on with the operating system running, and you press the power button. Table 10-2 Server Power Button Functions When Server is On and OS is Running Action Reaction 1-3 seconds Server power turns off (software controlled power off). 5 seconds or longer Server power turns off immediately (hard power off).
