1. When the unit boots, the monitor should display the following
information:
MAC Address — NIC portion of the system board is OK
GUID—General system board information
Client ID—Information from server
MASK—Information from server
DHCP IP—Information from server
If there is no MAC Address, the system board is at fault.
Contact the Call Center for service.
If there is not GUID information, the system board is at
fault and should be replaced.
If there is no Client ID, MASK, and DHCP IP
information there is no network connection. This may be
caused by a bad cable, the server is down, or a bad system
board. Contact the Call Center for service for the bad
system board.
If you are running in an MS RIS PXE environment go to step 2.
If you are running in a Linux environment go to step 3.
2. If you are running in an MS RIS PXE environment press the
