Installing Internal Add-On Components

This section explains how to install internal add-on components into A-Class servers. Internal add-on components include memory, cache memory, embedded disks and I/O cards. For cabinet mounted servers, it is necessary to remove the server from the cabinet to install internal add-on components.

Refer to the appropriate section for internal add-on component installation information:

• Installing Memory (RAM) Modules.

• Installing Cache Memory SIMMs.

• Installing Embedded Disk Drives.

• Installing Input/Output (I/O) Cards.

Installing Memory (RAM) Modules.

This section describes how to install memory (RAM) into A-Class servers. Computer memory is commonly referred to as Random Access Memory (RAM). The terms RAM and memory are used interchangeably in this documentation. Abbreviated Memory SIMM installation instructions also appear on the 11” x 14” maintenance label adhered to the bottom of the top cover.

A-Class memory is sold as a module. A module is defined as two SIMMs. A-Class servers support three memory module sizes: 128MB, 256MB and 512MB. The 128MB memory module consists of two 64MB SIMMS. The 256MB memory module consists of two 128MB SIMMs and the 512MB memory module consists of two 256MB SIMMs. A memory module occupies two slots. The size (or capacity) of a memory SIMM is printed along the top edge of the SIMM.

NOTE SIMM is an acronym for Single Inline Memory Module. A SIMM has components on one

side of the card, only.DIMM is an acronym for Dual Inline Memory Module. A DIMM has components on both sides of the card.The acronym SIMM will be used throughout this section to refer to either SIMM or DIMM.

A-Class servers provide 8 slots for memory. These slots are labeled in pairs and are numbered 0a, 0b, 1a, 1b, 2a, 2b, 3a and 3b. The nomenclature for a pair of SIMM slots is 0a/b, 1a/b, 2a/b and 3a/b. The following rules govern the installation memory in A-Class Servers.

• Memory must be installed in SIMM pairs.

• The capacity of SIMMs must be the same.

• Install SIMMs with the greatest capacity in the lowest slot numbers.

Chapter 2

Follow the steps below to install memory in A-Class servers.

Electrostatic Discharge Precautions.

The procedures in this section require opening the server and exposing the system to electrostatic discharge. Always observe all electrostatic precautions when working with components inside or out of the server. Failure to follow these precautions may result in component damage or loss of system reliability.

• Use a grounding mat and an anti-static wrist strap.

• Wear the anti-static wrist strap to ensure that any accumulated electrostatic charge is discharged from your body to ground.

Before You Do Anything...

• Power down the system.

• Unplug the server.

NOTE Cabinet-mounted servers must be removed from the cabinet before proceeding.

• Remove the top of the server by unscrewing the knurled captive screws on each side of the rear of the server. Slide the top back, lift it off, and set it aside.

Step 1. Document which size SIMMs are already installed and in which slots.

Step 2. Determine the size of the memory SIMMs to be installed.

Step 3. If the capacity of the memory SIMMs to be installed is less than or equal to existing

memory, install the new SIMMs in the next available slots.

Step 4. If the capacity of the memory SIMMs to be installed is greater than existing memory,

remove all existing memory RAM Removal, install RAM Replacement, the largest capacity SIMMs first beginning with slot 0a/b. Continue to add SIMMs in this manner.

Step 5. Proceed to A-Class Server Power Up and Boot Procedures.

Installing Cache Memory SIMMs.

This section describes how to install Cache Memory SIMMs into A-Class servers. Abbreviated Cache Memory SIMM installation instructions also appear on the 11” x 14” maintenance label adhered to the bottom of the top cover.

A-Class Cache Memory is sold as a module. A module is defined as two SIMMs. A-Class servers support a single 1MB Cache Memory module. The 1MB Cache Memory module consists of two 512MB SIMMs. A Cache Memory module occupies two slots. The size (or capacity) of the Cache Memory SIMM is printed along the top edge of the SIMM.

NOTE SIMM is an acronym for Single Inline Memory Module. A SIMM has components on one

NOTE Cabinet-mounted servers must be removed from the cabinet before proceeding.

• Remove the top of the server by unscrewing the knurled captive screws on each side of the rear of the server. Slide the top back, lift it off, and set it aside.

Step 1. Remove the disk carrier by removing the slotted T15 TORX screw and slide the disk

carrier upward and toward the power supply.

Step 2. If an embedded disk is already installed, disconnect the power and data cables from that

disk. Place the disk carrier on a ESD safe mat.

Step 3. Set address and configuration jumpers on the disk to be installed. The lower disk is

usually the boot disk and the recommended address is 6. The upper disk is recommended to be address 5. DO NOT use address 7 as this address is reserved for the SCSI controller internal to the server. The SCSI controller address of 7 can not be modified.

Step 4. Check configuration jumpers existing disks. Make sure the TERMINATION ENABLED

jumper is removed.

NOTE The TERMINATION ENABLED jumper must be REMOVED on all

embedded disk drives. Failure to remove this jumper will prevent the SCSI bus from operating properly. Symptoms include failing to boot from the embedded disk drives when external devices are connected to the “SCSI (Single Ended) 8/16/5 path”.

Step 7. Install the disk carrier by inserting the two sheetmetal tabs on the disk carrier into the

cut-outs in the server chassis. Secure the disk carrier using the slotted T15 TORX screw removed in step 1.

Step 8. Proceed to A-Class Server Power Up and Boot Procedures.

Installing Input/Output (I/O) Cards.

This section describes how to install I/O cards into A-Class servers. Abbreviated embedded PCI I/O card installation instructions also appear on the 11” x 14” maintenance label adhered to the bottom of the top cover.

A-Class servers provide two slots for I/O cards. The cards which plug into these slots can be Peripheral Component Interconnect (PCI), High Speed Connect (HSC) I/O cards or both (see photo).

The following rules govern the installation of I/O cards:

• When present, the A3342A HSC Remote Management I/O card must be installed in the bottom slot.

• For one HSC and one PCI card configurations, the HSC card must be installed in the bottom slot.

• For two HSC or two PCI cards, the load order does not matter.

NOTE When the A3342A HSC Remote Management card is installed, the console path changes

from 8/16/4 to 8/4/0. This may prevent HP-UX from booting.

During selftest, server firmware detects the presence or absence of the A3342A HSC Remote Management card and will automatically direct server firmware output to the appropriate path (8/4/0.0 when the A3342A is present, 8/16/4.0 when the A3342A is absent). These path changes are transparent to the physical console which should be connected to the server via the connector labeled “Console 8/16/4.0”. These path changes are also transparent to the server firmware ‘CONSOLE PATH’ value. Server firmware will not change the ‘CONSOLE PATH’ value. It is not necessary to manually change the ‘CONSOLE PATH’ value when installing or removing the A3342A. You may do so if you chose.

Chapter 2

A-Class Server Installation

Installing Internal Add-On Components

Example: A3342A is not installed. ‘CONSOLE PATH’ value is 8/16/4. Server firmware directs output to 8/16/4.0. Install A3342A. The ‘CONSOLE PATH’ value is still 8/16/4 but server firmware directs output to 8/4/0.0. Where the console is connected never changes.

NOTE When the A3342A HSC Remote Management card is installed, do not move the console

cable from the server connector labeled “Console 8/16/4.0” to the 9-pin connector on the A3342A HSC Remote Management card. This connector is for UPS use only.

While server firmware can automatically respond to presence or absence of the A3342A HSC Remote Management card, HP-UX can not. If HP-UX was installed without a A3342A HSC Remote Management card installed, the HP-UX path for the console will be 8/16/4.0. If an A3342A HSC Remote Management card is installed, the path changes to 8/4/0.0. The driver for this path is mux2. If mux2 is not configured to be ‘in’, HP-UX will no longer communicate with the console. The symptom is that the server boots from the root disk, displays the following message then hangs;

Operating System Software Installation

HP-UX may be installed from removable media (DDS or CDROM) or via a LAN (Ignite-UX). A-Class servers require a server firmware version of 39.32 or later to use Ignite-UX. A-Class server firmware is Customer installable and is available as a firmware patch from the Hewlett Packard Information Technology Resource Center (HPITRC) at http://us-support2.external.hp.com/. Refer to patch installation instructions to install this firmware patch on A-Class servers. Refer to the web-based documentation at http://docs.hp.com/ for information on how to configure and use Ignite-UX.

This is a temporary solution for rebuilding an A-Class system from removable media (diskette or CD) only. This procedure is required because the 10.20 Core Install media does not include the “btlan3” drivers that you will need for networking support. This solution is for the HP-UX 10.20 operating system with an Independent Peripheral Release (IPR) of October 198 (9810) only. It is not needed for HP-UX 11.0 IPR 9810.

Step 1. Install HP-UX 10.20 for HP 9000 series 800 servers from removable media:

• Load Core Install media into either CDROM or DDS.

• Change Alternate Path to match the path of the device containing the install media.

• Boot from alternate path

If you are using a DDS: The console will display:

type: no Press

Enter. The system will begin the software installation process.

Step 2. When installation is complete, the server will reboot and the console will display the

following prompt:

Are you ready to link the system to a network? Press Y or N then press return.

Type: n Press

Enter.

When prompted by the console display, enter the time and system name. The server should now function as a stand-alone system, except for an error in the /etc/rc.log file stating that the program “swagentd” could not start. This is because the new kernel was not built with enough networking support to allow the SD-UX (swinstall) software to run since no valid network drivers (btlan3) were found on the 10.20 media. To rebuild the kernel to allow the swinstall software to run, follow the remainder of this procedure.

Step 3. Log in as a “root” user and edit the “/stand/system” file to add the line: lan0.

When the system prompt “#” displays, type the following command: vi/stand/system Press

Enter.

Step 4. To rebuild the kernel, type the following command at the “#” prompt: mk_kernel

-o/stand/vmunix Press

Enter.

NOTE Disregard the /usr/ccs/bin/ld: (Warning) “Linker features were used...” This warning does

not apply to this procedure.

To reboot the system, type the following command when the system prompt “#” displays: reboot -r Press

Enter.

Step 5. To make the SD-UX install software work, type the following command when the system

prompt “#” displays: mknot/dev/lan0 c 52 0x000000 Press

Enter. The SD-UX software should now work

properly.

Step 6. The following command string is for DDS installation of the XSW800HWECR1020

(version XR41) bundle from removable media. This procedure will install the “btlan3” driver and reboot the server, but it will not automatically add “btlan3” support to the kernel. Type the following command when the system prompt “#” displays:

swinstall -x autoreboot=true -x match_target=true -s/dev/rmt/0m Press

Enter. The “btlan3” driver will be installed and the server will reboot.

Step 7. To add “btlan3” driver support to the kernel, edit the /stand/system file and add the line:

btlan3. To access the file, type the following command when the system prompt “#” displays: vi /stand/system. When the file opens, add the “btlan3” line.

Step 8. Now, rebuild the kernel and reboot the system. Type the following command when the

system prompt “#” displays: mk_kernel -o /stand/vmunix Press

Enter.

NOTE Disregard the /usr/ccs/bin/ld: (Warning) “Linker features were used...” This warning does

not apply to this procedure.

Then, type the following command when the system prompt “#” displays: reboot -r

Enter. The system should now boot with an error-free /etc/rc.log file.

A-Class Server Fault Condition Recognition

Overview

The existence of fault conditions are determined by reviewing Front Panel LED Status codes (shown below), or reviewing Review Console Messages.

The following subsections describe fault condition review procedures.

Review Front Panel Status LEDs

Front panel LEDs display either normal operation or fault status of the A-Class server. Fault conditions consist of selftest failures and High Priority Machine Check (HPMC) fault conditions. The following table describes what the front panel LED blink patterns indicate:

Review Console Messages

Console messages are also used to display fault conditions on the system console if a System Panic or HPMC fault occurs. If the memory dump function is properly configured, a memory dump (core dump) will automatically print to a hard disk file or other designated data storage following a System Panic, HPMC fault, or Transfer Of Control (TOC). Refer to the A-Class Server Trouble Shooting section for more information regarding TOC. If an A3342A HSC Remote Management card (Access Port) is installed, additional system status information, including selftest status messages, can be displayed at the console and, during normal operation (with HP-UX running), system status information can also be displayed by entering a Control B command. HSC Remote Management card system status information appears on the console in the format below.Refer to the A-Class Server Trouble Shooting section for definitions of the data provided by the HSC Remote Management card.

A-Class Server Trouble Shooting

Overview

Troubleshooting an A-Class server is performed to the “Field Replaceable Unit” (FRU) level. Diagnostic testing can be performed on the A-Class server and most components can be removed and replaced by the customer or customer representative.

NOTE The information in this section is meant for users who have at least a minimum level of

hardware troubleshooting experience. Some System Administrator-level knowledge of the HP-UX operating system is also required.

This section gives you the information needed to recognize repeatable hardware failures that prevent completion of the server selftest, or hardware failures that will not allow the HP-UX operating system to either initiate or complete the boot procedure.

Use the troubleshooting data and procedures in this section to isolate hardware failures within the A-Class server. Do not use this information to troubleshoot external peripheral device problems. Refer to the suspect peripheral's documentation for troubleshooting assistance.

Procedures for evaluating and describing messages, codes, and indicators are contained in the subsections listed below:

• A-Class Server Selftest Failures/Warnings

• Troubleshooting with Light-Emitting Diode (LED) Interpretation

— Successful Power-on Selftest. — Second Level Cache Memory Module Fault. — Random Access Memory (RAM) Module Fault. — I/O Subsystem or I/O Board Fault — System Board Fault, High Priority Machine Check (HPMC), or Unknown Fault. — I/O HPMC Fault. — RAM HPMC Fault.

• Firmware Warning Messages

• Chassis Code Summary

• Troubleshooting the ASCII Console

• Troubleshooting the Secure Web Console

• Troubleshooting Embedded Disks

A-Class Server Trouble Shooting

A-Class Server Selftest Failures/Warnings

A power-on selftest is conducted each time power is applied to the server. Failures that occur at this point will either prevent selftest from completing or, upon initial completion of selftest, display warnings on the console.

NOTE Warnings will include a brief description of the fault.

If the selftest fails before any output appears on the console, the three front panel LEDs (Power, Heartbeat, and LAN connection, shown below) will blink in patterns to identify which section of selftest failed. To troubleshoot selftest failures using the front panel LEDs, proceed to the next section.

To troubleshoot selftest failures by chassis code analysis, refer to the Chassis Code Summary section.

Troubleshooting with Light-Emitting Diode (LED) Interpretation

The LED icons shown above are physically located on the right-hand side of the server, when you are facing the front. The icon on the far right is a green circle that, under normal conditions, emits a steady light when server power is on. The middle icon of the three is an amber heart shape that emits, under normal conditions, a “heartbeat” blinking light when the server is operating normally. The left-most icon is also amber and represents the Local Area Network (LAN) signal. Under normal conditions, the LAN icon blinks irregularly as dictated by LAN signal activity. Additional selftest information is provided in the sub-sections that follow.

Successful Power-on Selftest.

When power is applied to the server, the green POWER icon will light upon successful completion of the power supply selftest, which takes approximately 2 seconds. If the green POWER LED fails to light, check the power source. If the power source is valid, the problem is usually in the A-Class server power supply. Power supply failures are repaired by replacing the A-Class Exchange Base Unit (EBU). Refer to the Replacing an A-Class Server Exchange Base Unit (EBU) section. After the green POWER icon comes on, both the amber HEARTBEAT and amber LAN ACTIVITY icons will momentarily light and go out. When selftest is complete, the firmware Main Menu screen will display on the console, and the green POWER icon will emit a steady light. LED icon states will appear as shown below:

Off Off On

The following table shows how to interpret front panel LED blinking codes when selftest has failed and the firmware Main Menu screen is inaccessible. During the conditions shown in this table, the green POWER icon is ON.

Second Level Cache Memory Module Fault. This fault occurs when a Second Level

Cache (SLC) failure prevents the system from completing selftest. Chassis codes provided by the HSC Remote Management card are useful in troubleshooting this type of error. For example, the fault FLT 2120 chassis code message indicates: “Second Level cache selftest” failure.

NOTE SIMM is an acronym for Single Inline Memory Module. A SIMM has components on one

Electrostatic Discharge Precautions. The procedures in this section require opening the server and exposing the system to electrostatic discharge. Always observe all electrostatic precautions when working with components inside or out of the server. Failure to follow these precautions may result in component damage or loss of system reliability.

A-Class Server Trouble Shooting

•

Use a grounding mat and an anti-static wrist strap.

• Wear the anti-static wrist strap to ensure that any accumulated electrostatic charge is

discharged from your body to ground.

Before You Do Anything...

• Power down the system.

• Unplug the server.

NOTE Cabinet-mounted servers must be removed from the cabinet before proceeding.

• Remove the top of the server by unscrewing the knurled captive screws on each side of the rear

of the server. Slide the top back, lift it off, and set it aside.

General SLC SIMM Troubleshooting.

NOTE A-Class servers can only use Cache Memory SIMMs with part number A5182-60002. Using Cache

Memory SIMMs with any other part number may result in the server failing it’s selftest.

Step 1. Remove both SLC SIMMs and place on an ESD mat.

Step 2. Power up and observe LEDs

Step 3. If fault does not recur, the problem is with the SLC SIMMs. Either replace both SLC SIMMs, or

proceed to the Single SLC SIMM Troubleshooting. subsection below.

Step 4. If the fault recurs, the problem is with the system board. To replace the system board, replace the

A-Class Exchange Base Unit (EBU). Refer to the Replacing an A-Class Server Exchange Base Unit (EBU) section.

Single SLC SIMM Troubleshooting. To troubleshoot SLC faults to a single SIMM, a known-good SLC SIMM is required.

Step 1. Install the known-good SLC SIMM in slot A and install one of the original SLC SIMMs in slot B of

the pair that failed. Power up and observe front panel LEDs.

Step 2. If the fault does not recur, the problem was caused by the SIMM that is not presently installed.

Boot the system and resume normal operations. If the fault recurs, proceed to step 3.

Step 3. Replace the SLC SIMM in slot B with the other original SLC SIMM. Power up and observe front

panel LEDs.

Step 4. If the fault does not recur, the problem is with the SLC SIMM previously installed in slot B. Boot

the system and resume normal operations.

Step 5. If the fault recurs, the problem is with the system board. To change the system board, you must

replace the A-Class Exchange Base Unit (EBU). Refer to the Replacing an A-Class Server Exchange Base Unit (EBU) section.

Electrostatic Discharge Precautions. The procedures in this section require opening the server and exposing the system to electrostatic discharge. Always observe all electrostatic precautions when working with components inside or out of the server. Failure to follow these precautions may result in component damage or loss of system reliability.

• Use a grounding mat and an anti-static wrist strap.

• Wear the anti-static wrist strap to ensure that any accumulated electrostatic charge is

discharged from your body to ground.

Before You Do Anything...

• Power down the system.

• Unplug the server.

NOTE Cabinet-mounted servers must be removed from the cabinet before proceeding.

• Remove the top of the server by unscrewing the knurled captive screws on each side of the rear

of the server. Slide the top back, lift it off, and set it aside.

General RAM Module Troubleshooting.

Step 1. List which size SIMMs are installed in which slots.

Step 2. Remove all RAM SIMMs except for slot 0a and 0b (0a/b). Plug in and power up the server, and

observe the front panel LEDs.

Step 3. If fault does not recur, the SIMMs installed in slot 0a and 0b are not the cause of the RAM SIMM

fault. Power down the server, refer to the memory configuration list (step 1) and install the next pair of SIMMs. Power up the server and observe the front panel LEDs.

Step 4. Repeat step 3 until the RAM SIMM fault recurs. Note which pair of SIMMs caused the RAM

SIMM failure. Either replace both memory SIMMs or continue to troubleshoot to a single SIMM.

For example: When RAM was reinstalled in slots 2a/b, the RAM SIMM fault returned. Therefore, the problem is with one of the two RAM SIMMs installed in slot 2a/b.

Chapter 3

Single RAM Module Troubleshooting. To troubleshoot RAM faults to a single SIMM, a known-good RAM SIMM is required.

Step 1. Install the known-good RAM SIMM in slot A and install one of the original RAM SIMMs in slot B.

Power up the server and observe the front panel LEDs.

A-Class System Service

Step 2.

If the fault does not recur, the problem was caused by the SIMM that is not presently installed. Boot the system and resume normal operations. If the fault recurs, proceed to step 3.

Step 3. Power down the server and replace the RAM SIMM in slot B with the other original RAM SIMM.

Power up and observe front panel LEDs.

Step 4. If the fault does not recur, the problem is with the RAM SIMM that was previously installed in slot

B. Boot the system and resume normal operations.

Step 5. If the fault recurs, the problem is with the system board. To change the system board, you must

replace the A-Class Exchange Base Unit (EBU). Refer to the Replacing an A-Class Server Exchange Base Unit (EBU) section.

I/O Subsystem or I/O Board Fault

This fault occurs when either an HSC or PCI I/O board prevents the system from completing selftest. Chassis codes provided by the HSC Remote Management card are useful to troubleshoot this type of error. For example: FLT 8xxx indicates an I/O card failure.

To troubleshoot I/O Subsystem or I/O Board Faults using the front panel LEDs, follow the procedure listed below:

Electrostatic Discharge Precautions. The procedures in this section require opening the server and exposing the system to electrostatic discharge. Always observe all electrostatic precautions when working with components inside or out of the server. Failure to follow these precautions may result in component damage or loss of system reliability.

• Use a grounding mat and an anti-static wrist strap.

• Wear the anti-static wrist strap to ensure that any accumulated electrostatic charge is discharged from your body to ground.

Before You Do Anything...

• Power down the system.

• Unplug the server.

NOTE Cabinet-mounted servers must be removed from the cabinet before proceeding.

• Remove the top of the server by unscrewing the knurled captive screws on each side of the rear of the server. Slide the top back, lift it off, and set it aside.

Step 1. Document the I/O configuration (write down which type of I/O board is installed in which

of the I/O slots).

Step 2. Remove all I/O boards. Power up the server and observe the front panel LEDs.

Step 3. If the fault does not recur and only a single I/O board was removed, that I/O card is the

cause of the I/O Subsystem or I/O Board Fault. Replace that I/O board, power on the server, and observe the front panel LEDs. If the problem recurs, proceed to step 8.

Step 4. If the fault does not recur and two I/O boards were removed, install the bottom I/O card,

power up the server, and observe the front panel LEDs.

Chapter 3

A-Class System Service

A-Class Server Trouble Shooting

Step 5. If the fault recurs, the I/O card in the bottom slot is the cause of the I/O Subsystem or I/O

Board Fault. Replace that I/O board.

Step 6. If the fault does not recur, install the second I/O card, power up the server, and observe

the front panel LEDs.

Step 7. If the problem recurs, replace the top I/O card.

Step 8. If replacing the I/O card does not clear the I/O Subsystem or I/O Board Fault, the

problem is with the system board. To change the system board, you must replace the A-Class Exchange Base Unit (EBU). Refer to the Replacing an A-Class Server Exchange Base Unit (EBU) section.

System Board Fault, High Priority Machine Check (HPMC), or Unknown Fault.

This fault occurs when the system board has an irrecoverable fault or an HPMC prevents the system from completing selftest. Chassis codes provided by the HSC Remote Management card are useful for troubleshooting this type of error, because HPMCs generate many chassis codes and some chassis codes indicate a specific fault.

To troubleshoot I/O Subsystem or I/O Board Faults, power on the server and observe both the front panel LEDs and the console. If the server does not boot to the point where output displays on the console, the system board is the problem. To change the system board, you must replace the A-Class Exchange Base Unit (EBU). Refer to the Replacing an A-Class Server Exchange Base Unit (EBU) section.

If power cycling the server clears the fault, continue troubleshooting by entering the “ser pim” command at the firmware main menu screen. Check the timestamp on the PIM data to see if the time recorded corresponds to the time of the failure. For assistance with decoding an HPMC, contact Hewlett-Packard.

I/O HPMC Fault.

I/O Subsystem or I/O Board faults occur when an HPMC, in response to an I/O failure, prevents the system from completing selftest. Chassis codes provided by the HSC Remote Management card are useful in troubleshooting this type of error, because HPMCs generate many chassis codes and some chassis codes indicate a specific fault. To troubleshoot an I/O HPMC fault, refer to the I/O Subsystem or I/O Board Fault section.

If power cycling the server clears the fault, continue troubleshooting by using the “ser pim” command at the firmware main menu screen. Check the timestamp on the PIM data to see if the time recorded corresponds to the time of the failure. For assistance with decoding an HPMC, contact Hewlett-Packard.

RAM HPMC Fault.

RAM faults occur when an HPMC, in response to a RAM failure, prevents the system from completing selftest. Chassis codes provided by the HSC Remote Management card are useful in troubleshooting this type of error. To troubleshoot a RAM HPMC fault, refer to the Random Access Memory (RAM) Module Fault. section.

Firmware Warning Messages

Firmware is the name given to the system boot instructions and selftest software that is imbedded into a computer chip instead of stored on disk. Firmware also includes warnings and error messages that are displayed on the console when selftest finds an error. Those warnings and messages, and a brief description or action requirement of each, is shown in the table included below:

Chassis Code Summary

Operating Status (OSTAT) and chassis codes are generated by A-Class server firmware. OSTAT and chassis codes can be read from stored locations or viewed 'real time' via the HSC Remote Management card.

Chassis codes displayed during selftest only appear at the console. They will appear on either the ASCII console or the Web console. Below is an example of how chassis codes appear in response to a 'control b' key sequence:

Chapter 3

• OSTAT values of TEST and INIT are common during selftest.

• OSTAT values of RUN and SHUT are common when the HP-UX operating system is running.

• OSTAT values FLT, OFF, and WARN are used to indicate when the server firmware has failed a test or detected a problem that does not keep selftest from finishing.

If a fault prevents the server from completing selftest, the OSTAT FLT is used and the Chassis Code displays the test number that failed. If the server stops responding while performing a test, the OSTAT value will be INIT or TEST and the chassis code represents the test that was running when the server failed.

Refer to the table below to determine which tests were active when the system either faulted or stopped responding during selftest, and the corrective action to take in response to the problem.

Troubleshooting the ASCII Console

The ASCII Console is typically a “dumb” monochrome terminal that serves as the communication link between the A-Class server and the system operator. At power on, the server’s selftest software tests server internal components and external peripherals to determine the operational status of each. The ASCII Console displays the operational status of all components and peripherals, including its own, on the console screen. The screen will display selftest data output in one of two ways:

If an HSC Remote Management card is installed, the output appears at the bottom of the screen and is updated until selftest is complete and the firmware Main Menu screen appears.

Chapter 3

A-Class System Service

A-Class Server Trouble Shooting

If an HSC Remote Management card is not installed, there will be no output to the console screen until selftest completes.

If the ASCII console does not respond to input or does not display any output:

• Make sure that the ASCII console is correctly connected to the server. Refer to Chapter 2.

• Make sure that the LAN Web Console is NOT connected. If it is, instead of going to the ASCII console, output will re-directed to the LAN Web Console.

• Make sure the keyboard is correctly connected to the ASCII console.

• Cycle power to the ASCII console.

• Return configuration settings to default by pressing the appropriate soft keys on the keyboard. Consult the Operator’s Manual for the specific soft keys to press and the correct sequence. When the correct soft key sequence is entered, the DATACOM settings will be:

Baud: 9600 Parity/DataBits: None/8 EnqAck: Yes

Asterisk: OFF Chk Parity: No SR(CH): Lo

RecvPace: Xon/Xoff XmitPace: None CS(CB)Xmit: No

• Make sure REMOTE MODE is ON (asterisk appears in REMOTE MODE block on the screen) and AUTO Line Feed is OFF (asterisk does NOT appear in AUTO LF block on the screen)

• Replace the ASCII console with a known good console.

• Try the LAN Web console. If the LAN Web console works but the ASCII console does not, or neither console works, the system board is the problem. To change the system board, you must replace the A-Class Exchange Base Unit (EBU). Refer to the Replacing an A-Class Server Exchange Base Unit (EBU) section.

If you have an HSC Remote Management card installed and the ASCII console works but the control B function does not, check the position of the SERVICE/NORMAL switch on the HSC Remote Management card. This switch must be in the SERVICE position to enable the control B function. If the control B function does not restore, replace the HSC Remote Management card. Refer to the A-Class Server I/O Card Removal and Replacement section.

NOTE The control B function is unique to the HSC Remote Management card. If you do not

have an HSC Remote Management card installed, the control B function is not available.

Chapter 3

Troubleshooting the Secure Web Console

The Secure Web Console is typically a “dumb” monochrome terminal that can serve as the communication link between the A-Class server and the system operator, as a substitute for the ASCII Console. At power on, the server’s selftest software tests server internal components and external peripherals to determine the operational status of

A-Class System Service

A-Class Server Trouble Shooting

each. The Secure Web Console displays the operational status of all components and peripherals, including its own, on the console screen. The screen will display selftest data output in one of two ways:

If an HSC Remote Management card is installed, the output appears at the bottom of the screen and is updated until selftest is complete and the firmware Main Menu screen appears.

If an HSC Remote Management card is not installed, there will be no output to the console screen until selftest completes.

NOTE The Integrated LAN Web Console will be referred to as the Web console in this section.

The A-Class server front panel LEDs do not indicate Web console failures. There are no blinking codes to show the source of a web console fault.

To troubleshoot the Web console:

1. Make sure that a LAN cable is inserted into the LAN Web Console connector on the rear of the server. Refer to Chapter 2.

2. Log in to the Web console as the Administrator and check the DATACOM configuration. It should be:

Baud Rate: 9600

Parity/Data Bits: None/8

Parity Checking: Enable should be off

Recvpace/Xmitpace: Xon/Xoff should be off

NOTE Remember to use SAVE to retain any changes that you make.

3. Reset the Web console.

a. Type the IP address of the Web console in your web browser’s location window

and press

Enter.

b. When the Web console page appears, log in. c. Click on the Reset Web Console option.

NOTE Resetting the Web console will log any other users off of the system.

4. Ping the IP address of the Web console to make sure it responds. If it does not respond, contact your network administrator.

5. Reset the Web console to its default configuration by pressing the Web Console Reset button while toggling the server’s power switch to OFF then ON. Do not release the Web Console Reset button until selftest completes (the only front panel LED lit is the green POWER LED).

Chapter 3

A-Class System Service

A-Class Server Trouble Shooting

NOTE Resetting the Web console to its default configuration will require the Web console to

be reconfigured. Refer to Chapter 2 for the procedure.

6. Connect an ASCII console to the RS232 port on the rear of the server and remove the LAN cable from the LAN Web console port on the rear of the server. Refer to the Troubleshooting the ASCII Console section for ASCII Console operation tips. If the ASCII console works, but the Web console does not, the problem is with the system board. To change the system board, you must replace the A-Class Exchange Base Unit (EBU). Refer to the Replacing an A-Class Server Exchange Base Unit (EBU) section.

7. If neither the ASCII nor the Web consoles work, the system board is the problem in this case, also. Refer to the Replacing an A-Class Server Exchange Base Unit (EBU) section.

NOTE If you can access the console but do not get a prompt, it may be that you do not have

write access to the console. Multiple users may have access to the console (read access) at the same time, but only one user can write to the console at a time. To see which user has write access to the console, look at the Web console main screen. The user whose name is underlined has write access to the console. Write access can only be taken, not given. To acquire write access, press ctrl F12. Your username will now be underlined and you will be able to enter commands into the Web console system. Everyone else is excluded from writing to the console, but everyone on the system has read access.

Troubleshooting Embedded Disks

The A-Class server will support a maximum of two internally installed and connected disk drives, commonly referred to as embedded disks. Embedded disks contain both the server’s startup (bootstrap) software and Operating System software. Though embedded disks are installed internally, the server’s front panel LEDs do not reflect disk status and therefore will not blink in a code pattern to indicate an embedded disk selftest failure. Also, embedded disks do not have an individual fault LED to show operational status.

If the system cannot boot from an embedded disk, an Input/Output Dependent Code (IODC) error occurs. The example provided below starts with entry of the boot command and shows the messages that will be displayed on the console.

To troubleshoot a recurring embedded disk fault:

1. Use a mapping tool to verify that the embedded disk is recognized by the server’s bootstrap software. To verify server recognition, type sea at the firmware Main Menu prompt. The server will display a list of bootable devices on the console. Check this list for the paths of embedded disks: 8/16/5.6 and 8/16/5.5.

2. If the embedded disk is not recognized by the server, make sure that power is applied to the disk. You can refer to either the A-Class Server Disk Drive Removal and Replacement section, or look at the label under the top of the server cover, to locate the power cable.

3. Make sure that all the disks on the same bus have unique addresses. Refer to the label on top of the disk housing for an address jumper diagram.

4. Check disk configuration jumper settings. Make sure the TERMINATION ENABLED jumper is removed.

5. If steps 1-4 do not correct the problem, replace the embedded disk.

Off-line Diagnostic Environment (ODE) and Support Tools Manager (STM) software can also be used to troubleshoot embedded disk faults. Use mapping utilities (Mapper) to verify that the disks are recognized by the server. Password-protected disk expert tools are available via ODE and STM.

NOTE Only licensed self-maintenance technicians and HP service personnel have access to the

diagnostic passwords required for access to ODE and STM software, and disk expert tools.

If you are unfamiliar with the usage of HP diagnostic tools, refer to the following: Diagnostic/IPR Media User's Guide

Troubleshooting LAN

When connected to a hub, the 10 Base-T LAN on A-Class servers should automatically negotiate the proper speed. If this auto-negotiation fails, the server will not connect to the hub. Should this symptom occur, replace the EBU. Be sure to use an EBU with part number A5182-69101 or later.
