Chapter 5 Troubleshooting the Installation
Getting Started
Getting Started
When the initial system boot is complete, verify the following:
•Power supplies are supplying power to the system.
•The system fan assembly is operating.
•System software boots successfully.
If all of these conditions are met and the hardware installation is complete, refer to the Software Configuration Guide and the Command Reference publications to troubleshoot the software. However, if any of these conditions are not met, use the procedures in this chapter to isolate and, if possible, resolve the problem.
Problem Solving to the System Component Level
The key to success when troubleshooting the system is to isolate the problem to a specific system component. The first step is to compare what the system is doing to what it should be doing.

•Power
•Fan assembly
