Chapter 7. Solving problems This section provides basic information about the diagnostic tools that are available to help you solve some common problems that might occur while you are setting up the blade workstation. If you install the blade workstation in the BladeCenter unit and the blade workstation does not start, perform the following actions: v Make sure that the BladeCenter unit is correctly connected to a power source. v Reseat the blade workstation in the BladeCenter unit (see "Installing the blade workstation in a BladeCenter unit" on page 24). v If the power-on LED is flashing slowly, turn on the blade workstation (see "Turning on the blade workstation" on page 11). v If you have just added a new optional device or component, make sure that it is correctly installed and compatible with the blade workstation and its components. If the device or component is not compatible, remove it from the blade workstation, reinstall the blade workstation in the BladeCenter unit, and then restart the blade workstation. If the blade workstation does not start after you have performed the preceding actions, see the Problem Determination and Service Guide for your blade workstation on the IBM BladeCenter Documentation CD. The following tools are available to help you diagnose and solve hardware-related problems: v POST beep codes The power-on self-test beep codes indicate the detection of a problem. - One beep indicates successful completion of POST. - More than one beep indicates a problem. Beep codes are listed in "Diagnostics" in the Problem Determination and Service Guide for the blade workstation. v Post error codes The POST error codes indicate the detection of a problem. See the Problem Determination and Service Guide for more information. v Troubleshooting tables Use the troubleshooting tables to find solutions to problems that have identifiable symptoms. These tables are in the Problem Determination and Service Guide for your blade workstation. v Diagnostic programs and error messages ROM-resident diagnostic programs test the major components of the BladeCenter unit. To start the diagnostic programs, press F2 when you are prompted during blade workstation startup. See the Problem Determination and Service Guide for more information. Note: If you are unable to find the system error logs in the blade workstation firmware code, view the system event log in the BladeCenter management module. © Copyright IBM Corp. 2007 45
