Troubleshooting
H-2 HP ProLiant DL585 Server User Guide
This appendix includes the following topics:
• If the server does not start
You are provided with initial instructions on what to try and where to go for help
for the most common problems encountered during the initial POST. A
successful startup requires the server to complete this test each time you power
up, before the server can load the operating system and start running software
applications.
• Diagnostic steps
If the server does not power up after you have performed initial troubleshooting
procedures, use the tables in this section to identify possible reasons for the
problem, possible solutions, and references to other sources of information.
• Problems after initial boot
After the server has passed the POST, you might still encounter errors, such as an
inability to load the operating system. You are provided with instructions on
what to try and where to go for help when you encounter errors after the server
completes the POST.
• Other information resources
This section provides a list of reference information available for the server.
For troubleshooting information beyond the scope of this guide, both general and
specific to this server, refer to Table H-8.
