Troubleshooting This appendix includes the following topics: • When the Server Does Not Start You are provided with initial instructions on what to try and where to go for help for the most common problems encountered during the initial Power-On Self-Test (POST). A successful startup requires the server to complete this test each time you power up, before the server can load the operating system and start running software applications. • Diagnosis Steps If the server does not power up after you have performed initial troubleshooting procedures, use the tables in this section to identify possible reasons for the problem, possible solutions, and references to other sources of information. • Problems After Initial Boot Once your server has passed the POST, you may still encounter errors, such as an inability to load your operating system. You are provided with instructions on what to try and where to go for help when you encounter errors after the server completes the POST. • ROMPaq Disaster Recovery During troubleshooting, it may become apparent that your system ROM is corrupted. Because the server has redundant ROM capability, you can use the backup ROM until it is feasible to bring your server down. If both ROMs are corrupted, you will need to perform the ROMPaq disaster recovery procedure before the server will boot. • Other Information Resources This section provides a list of reference information available for your server. For troubleshooting information beyond the scope of this guide, both general and specific to ProLiant ML530 servers, see Table D-8.
