Power problems during installation are usually related to the installation process. If the server does not power on, check the LED indicators on the power supply rear panels, and follow these steps. • If the AC power LED on the power supply on the rear panel of the server is lit, power is available to the server. • If the AC power LED is not lit, the server is either in standby power mode, or there is a problem. Reseat the power supply. If the problem persists, remove and reseat the board within the server. If the problem persists, replace the power supply or the power supply interface board. • If the console shows that the server is powered on, but server LEDs indicate that power is off, remove and reseat connectors on the LED status board. If the problem persists, replace the LED status board. If the console shows that the server is not powered on (server is off), remove and reseat connectors on the system board. If the problem persists, replace the power supply interface board, or the system board. BCH Menu is Not Available If you cannot access the BCH from either the main disk partition or the CD, use the following tools to help solve the problem: • Front panel LEDs • iLO MP - Console messages - System event logs (SEL) Operating System Does Not Boot If the operating system does not boot, but you are able to reach the BCH from either the main disk partition or the CD, use the following tools to help solve the problem: • Using the BCH menu prompt, check the system logs and analyze any error messages. • Offline Diagnostic Environment (ODE) Operating System Boots with Problems If the operating system is running and you are experiencing problems, use the following tools to help solve the problem: • LEDs • Error Messages and event logs Intermittent Server Problems You can usually trace intermittent problems that occur during installation to power source problems, a loose connector, or some other hardware problem. If you are experiencing intermittent problems, follow these steps: 1. Check iLO MP logs and analyze the problem. Determine if there is more than one symptom and if the problem is random. 2. Verify that the AC power source is stable. 3. Reseat all rear panel connectors. 4. Reseat all hot-swappable fans and power supplies. 5. Reseat all main memory DIMMs. 6. Reseat all cable harnesses and board connectors. 120 Installing the System

Power problems during installation are usually related to the installation process. If the server

does not power on, check the LED indicators on the power supply rear panels, and follow these

steps.

•

If the AC power LED on the power supply on the rear panel of the server is lit, power is

available to the server.

•

If the AC power LED is not lit, the server is either in standby power mode, or there is a

problem. Reseat the power supply. If the problem persists, remove and reseat the board

within the server. If the problem persists, replace the power supply or the power supply

interface board.

•

If the console shows that the server is powered on, but server LEDs indicate that power is

off, remove and reseat connectors on the LED status board. If the problem persists, replace

the LED status board.

If the console shows that the server is not powered on (server is off), remove and reseat

connectors on the system board. If the problem persists, replace the power supply interface

board, or the system board.

BCH Menu is Not Available

If you cannot access the BCH from either the main disk partition or the CD, use the following

tools to help solve the problem:

•

Front panel LEDs

•

iLO MP

Console messages

—

System event logs (SEL)

Operating System Does Not Boot

If the operating system does not boot, but you are able to reach the BCH from either the main

disk partition or the CD, use the following tools to help solve the problem:

•

Using the BCH menu prompt, check the system logs and analyze any error messages.

•

Intermittent Server Problems

You can usually trace intermittent problems that occur during installation to power source

problems, a loose connector, or some other hardware problem. If you are experiencing intermittent

problems, follow these steps:

Check iLO MP logs and analyze the problem. Determine if there is more than one symptom

and if the problem is random.

Verify that the AC power source is stable.

Reseat all rear panel connectors.

Reseat all hot-swappable fans and power supplies.

Reseat all main memory DIMMs.

Reseat all cable harnesses and board connectors.
