Troubleshooting
Problems following Initial System Installation
Problems that occur at initial system startup are usually caused by an incorrect installation or
configuration. Hardware failure is a less frequent cause. If the problem you are experiencing is
with a specific software application, see “
Problems with Newly Installed Application Software. ”
First Steps Checklist
‰ Is AC power available at the wall outlet?
‰ Are the power supplies plugged in? Check the AC cable(s) on the back of the chassis and at the
AC source.
‰ Are all cables correctly connected and secured?
‰ Are the processors fully seated in their sockets on the server board?
‰ Are all standoffs in the proper location and not touching any components, causing a potential
short?
‰ Are all add-in PCI boards fully seated in their slots on the server board?
‰ Are all jumper settings on the server board correct?
‰ Are all jumper and switch settings on add-in boards and peripheral devices correct? To check
these settings, refer to the manufacturer’s documentation that comes with them. If applicable,
ensure that there are no conflicts—for example, two add-in boards sharing the same interrupt.
‰ Are all peripheral devices installed correctly?
‰ If the system has a hard disk drive, is it properly formatted or configured?
‰ Are all device drivers properly installed?
‰ Are the configuration settings made in Setup correct?
‰ Is the operating system properly loaded? Refer to the operating system documentation.
‰ Did you press the system power on/off switch on the front panel to turn the server on (power on
light should be lit)?
‰ Is the system power cord properly connected to the system and plugged into a
NEMA 5-15R outlet for 100-120 V
or a NEMA 6-15R outlet for 200-240 V ?
‰ Are all integrated components from the tested components lists? Check the tested memory, and
chassis lists, as well as the supported hardware and operating system list. See “ Additional
Information and Software ” for links to the tested component lists.
