software and drivers required during the troubleshooting process.

specific information.
Before troubleshooting a server problem, collect the following information:
• What events preceded the failure? After which steps does the problem occur?
• What has been changed between the time the server was working and now?
• Did you recently add or remove hardware or software? If so, did you
remember to change the appropriate settings in the server setup utility, if
necessary?
• Has the server exhibited problem symptoms for a period of time?
• If the problem occurs randomly, what is the duration or frequency?
To answer these questions, the following information may be useful:
• Run HP Insight Diagnostics (on page 80) and use the survey page to view the
current configuration or to compare it to previous configurations.
• Refer to your hardware and software records for information.
