Use this information to run diagnostics, locate error codes, and
identify device errors for the blade server.
Before you perform the checkout procedure for diagnosing hardware
problems, review the following information:
- Read Safety and Installation guidelines.
- The diagnostic programs provide the primary methods of testing the major
components of the blade server. If you are not sure whether a problem is caused
by the hardware or by the software, you can use the diagnostic programs to
confirm that the hardware is working correctly.
- When you run the diagnostic programs, a single problem might cause more
than one error message. When this happens, correct the cause of the first
error message. The other error messages usually will not occur the next time
you run the diagnostic programs.
- If the blade server is halted and a POST error code is displayed, see POST error codes. If the blade server
is halted and no error message is displayed, see Troubleshooting tables and Solving undetermined problems.
- For intermittent problems, check the error log; see Error logs and Dynamic system analysis diagnostic programs and messages.
- If no LEDs are lit on the blade server front panel, verify the blade server
status and errors in the Advanced-Management-Module Web interface; also see Solving undetermined problems.
- If device errors occur, see Troubleshooting tables.
