Troubleshooting

4 Troubleshooting

This chapter helps you identify and solve problems that might occur while you are using the system.

For any issue, first ensure you are using the latest firmware and files. Firmware upgrades include updates for BIOS, the mini baseboard management controller (mBMC), and the hot-swap controller (HSC). See “Additional Information and Software” for a link to the software updates. In addition to the server firmware and files, also update any drivers used for components you have installed in your system, such as video drivers, network drivers, and SCSI drivers.

Intel provides a package called the “Platform Confidence Test” that may help with your diagnostics. See “Additional Information and Software” for a link to this software.

If you are unable to resolve your server problems on your own, see “Getting Help” for assistance.

Resetting the System

Before going through in-depth troubleshooting, attempt first to perform reset your system using one of the methods below.

To do this:

Press:

 

 

Soft boot reset to clear the system memory and reload the operating system.

<Ctrl+Alt+Del>

 

 

Clear system memory, restart POST, and reload the operating system.

Reset button

 

 

Cold boot reset. Turn the system power off and then on. This clears system memory,

Power off/on

restarts POST, reloads the operating system, and halts power to all peripherals.

 

 

 

Problems following Initial System Installation

Problems that occur at initial system startup are usually caused by an incorrect installation or configuration. Hardware failure is a less frequent cause. If the problem you are experiencing is with a specific software application, see “Problems with Newly Installed Application Software.

First Steps Checklist

‰Is AC power available at the wall outlet?

‰Are the power supplies plugged in? Check the AC cable(s) on the back of the chassis and at the AC source.

‰Are all cables correctly connected and secured?

‰Are the processors fully seated in their sockets on the server board?

‰Are all standoffs in the proper location and not touching any components, causing a potential short?

‰Are all add-in PCI boards fully seated in their slots on the server board?

‰Are all jumper settings on the server board correct?

‰Are all jumper and switch settings on add-in boards and peripheral devices correct? To check these settings, refer to the manufacturer’s documentation that comes with them. If applicable, ensure that there are no conflicts—for example, two add-in boards sharing the same interrupt.
