NOTE: To verify the server configuration, connect to the System Management homepage and select Version Control Agent. The VCA gives you a list of names and versions of all installed HP drivers, Management Agents, and utilities, and whether they are up to date. o HP recommends you have access to the server documentation for server-specific information. o HP recommends you have access to the SmartStart CD for value-added software and drivers required during the troubleshooting process. NOTE: Download the current version of SmartStart from the HP website (http://www.hp.com/servers/smartstart). Service notifications To view the latest service notifications, refer to the HP website (http://www.hp.com/go/bizsupport). Select the appropriate server model, and then click the Troubleshoot a Problem link on the product page. Loose connections Action: • Be sure all power cords are securely connected. • Be sure all cables are properly aligned and securely connected for all external and internal components. • Remove and check all data and power cables for damage. Be sure no cables have bent pins or damaged connectors. • If a fixed cable tray is available for the server, be sure the cords and cables connected to the server are routed correctly through the tray. • Be sure each device is properly seated. Avoid bending or flexing circuit boards when reseating components. • If a device has latches, be sure they are completely closed and locked. • Check any interlock or interconnect LEDs that may indicate a component is not connected properly. • If problems continue to occur, remove and reinstall each device, checking the connectors and sockets for bent pins or other damage. Troubleshooting flowcharts To effectively troubleshoot a problem, HP recommends that you start with the first flowchart in this section, "Start diagnosis flowchart (on page 66)," and follow the appropriate diagnostic path. If the other flowcharts do not provide a troubleshooting solution, follow the diagnostic steps in "General diagnosis flowchart (on page 67)." The General diagnosis flowchart is a generic troubleshooting process to be used when the problem is not server-specific or is not easily categorized into the other flowcharts. The available flowcharts include: • Start diagnosis flowchart (on page 66) • General diagnosis flowchart (on page 67) Troubleshooting 65
