Chapter 5 Troubleshooting the System Hardware

Symptoms and Solutions

Has this configuration ever worked?

If it has been working, what changes were made before it failed?

Is this the original reported failure?

Hardware configuration

Print (print screen) configuration currently in use

BIOS level

WAAS system software type and version level

To eliminate confusion, identical systems are considered identical only if they meet all these conditions:

Are the exact machine type and models

Have the same BIOS level

Have the same adapters or attachments in the same locations

Have the same address jumpers, terminators, and cabling

Have the same WAAS software versions

Have the same configuration options set in the system

Have the same setup for the operating system control files

Comparing the configuration and software setup in working and nonworking systems might help to resolve the problem.

Symptoms and Solutions

This section lists symptoms, errors, and the possible causes. The most likely cause is listed first. You can use the error symptom tables to find solutions to problems that have definite symptoms.

In Table 5-2through Table 5-9, the first entry in the “Cause and Action” column is the most likely cause of the symptom.

Caution Any component that is internal to the device must be serviced by trained and qualified personnel. Contact your Cisco customer service representative.
