Installation troubleshooting
Installation troubleshooting methodology
A server is tested before shipping. Failures encountered during installation can be due to damage
that occurred in transit. Re-seating connectors can resolve issues that result from rough handling.
If you are installing components or assemblies, you might encounter compatibility issues or incorrect
installations. If you are installing components or assemblies, verify that items are correctly installed
and that all connectors are fully engaged. If the unit does not power on, verify the power source
before proceeding.
If an issue is encountered during initial operation, remove any add-in or optional components, and
then retest the server before continuing. Verify basic server operation before installing additional
cards, and configuring software and hardware for the server requirements.
