Getting Ready to Troubleshoot
To troubleshoot a B132L/B160L/B180L workstation,
you must be familiar with the HP-UX operating sys-
tem and be able to start and stop processes. You should
also be familiar with the boot ROM diagnostics, ISL
diagnostics, and the Support Tools Manager online
tests, which we describe in this chapter.
Note any error or status messages, then run the power-
up boot ROM diagnostics, known as Self Test. If the
Self Test diagnostics fail, replace the FRU that is indi-
cated. If the tests pass but you still suspect a problem,
run the ISL diagnostics and the Support Tools Man-
ager online tests.
For a complete description of using ISL diagnostics
and Support Tools Manager, see the
Precision Archi-
tecture RISC HP 9000 Series 700 Diagnostics Man-
ual
.
In the following flowcharts, use Figure 11
(flowchart 1) and Figure 12 (flowchart 2) to trouble-
shoot based on whether or not the LEDs light. Use
Figure 13 (flowchart 3) and Figure 14 to troubleshoot
the HP-UX environment.
