front of the chassis. Fan unit 5 is accessible from the rear of the chassis. Fan units 1, 2, 3 and 4 are identical
and interchangeable.
If a fan failure is total (both rotors), or if the fan has been removed from the chassis for more than 30 seconds,
a system will log the event as a critical error. A critical error will cause the System LED to flash red and will
require a reboot to reset the error status. A total fan failure (including removal) for more than 2 minutes will
result in system shutdown. If you are hot-swapping a fan assembly in response to an error message, and the
system is operating normally, hot-swapping the fan in less than 30 seconds will eliminate the requirement for
a system reboot. Hot-swapping a fan in less than 2 minutes will allow continued operation and prevent
automatic shutdown.
CAUTIONOperating the server with the front grill removed will risk EMI. Operate the server with the
front grill removed only when hot-swapping a fan. Always replace the front grill immediately
after replacing the fan.
Observe all ESD safety precautions while performing this procedure. Failure to follow ESD
safety precautions could result in damage to the server.

4Troubleshooting
Introduction
This chapter presents troubleshooting information. Basic tips for start-up problems are presented, audio cues
and LED indicators are described and interpreted, and error messages (and how to retrieve them) are
described. In addition, problems that are associated with I/O functions and paths are discussed here.
Troubleshooting Methodology
WARNINGAlways disconnect the power cords and unplug telephone cables before removing
the server cover. Disconnect telephone cables to avoid exposure to shock hazard
from telephone ringing voltages. Disconnect the power cords to avoid exposure to
high energy levels that may cause burns when parts are short-circuited by metal
objects such as tools or jewelry.
CAUTIONDo not operate the server for more than 2 minutes with any cover (including power supplies
and disk drives) removed. The covers also provide EMI containment and direct airflow within
the chassis. Depending on which cover or assembly is missing, the server may shutdown,
interrupting operations. In addition, damage to system components may result due to
overheating.
You can safely remove the front grill while the HP Server is running to remove and replace
hot-swap fans. The hot-swap power supplies and one hot-swap fan (accessible from the rear of
the chassis) can be replaced at any time. For any other service activity requiring access to
internal components, power down the server and observe all safety precautions.
The server was tested prior to shipping and should be in perfect working order. Failures encountered during
installation may be due to damage that occurred in transit. Reseating connectors may clear problems that
result from rough handling. If you are installing components or assemblies, compatibility problems or
incorrect installations may be the cause of problems. If you are installing components or assemblies, check
that items are correctly installed and that all connectors are fully engaged. If the unit will not power on,
check the power source before proceeding.
If a problem is encountered during initial operation, remove any add-in or optional components and retest the
server before continuing. Verify basic server operation before installing additional cards and configuring
software and hardware for your system requirements.
Troubleshooting is based on observation of server status indications and error messages, and by checking
system event logs. The system e-buzzer will provide an immediate indication of any start-up problems. LED
indicators can be observed on the front and rear of the server. Error messages are displayed on local and
remote consoles. System history (console, event, and history logs) are available through the management
processor, and can be accessed through the console. Additional information about troubleshooting can be
found in the hp Integrity cx2600 Operation and Maintenance Guide.
Chapter 4
47
Troubleshooting
Troubleshooting Methodology
Offline troubleshooting programs are available on the resource CD that is shipped with your HP Server. To
troubleshoot your system you should be familiar with the Offline Diagnostics Environment (ODE) which runs
in the Extensible Firmware Interface (EFI). Descriptions and user information about offline troubleshooting
tools are available at http://docs.hp.com. The offline tools are available for downloading at
http://software.hp.com.
Using the Front Panel Power Button
The server power button on the front panel operates differently, depending on how long the button is held in
and on what the system is doing when the button is pressed. You must be aware of its uses to properly
troubleshoot the system.
If the server is off, and power is not connected to server power supplies, pressing the power button has no
effect.
If the server is off, and power is connected to server power supplies, the front panel power LED will blink at a
1-Hz rate. In this state, standby power is available to server circuits, but main power is off. Pressing and
holding the power button will accomplish the following:
•1 – 3 seconds. System power turns on. The e-buzzer will beep if an error is encountered. (Refer to
“Troubleshooting Using Beep Codes (System e-buzzer)” on page 50 for a description of the e-buzzer.)
•3 – 5 seconds. The e-buzzer will repeat the last stored error message (beep code).
If the server is on and the system is at the EFI, pressing and holding the power button will accomplish the
following:
•1 – 3 seconds. System power turns off immediately (hard power down).
•3 – 5 seconds. The e-buzzer will repeat the last stored error message (beep code).
•5 seconds or longer. System power turns off immediately (hard power down).
If the server is on and the operating system is running, pressing and holding the power button will
accomplish the following:
•1 – 3 seconds. System power turns off (software controlled power down).
•3 – 5 seconds. The e-buzzer will repeat the last stored error message (beep code).
•5 seconds or longer. System power turns off immediately (hard power down).
If the Server Will Not Power Up
Power problems during installation are usually related to the install process. If your server will not power up,
check the LED indicators on the power supply rear panels. Refer to “Rear Panel LEDs” on page 57 and
perform the following:
•If the DC In indicators are lit, it can be assumed that power is available to the server.
•If a fault indicator is lit, reseat the power supply. If the problem persists, remove and reseat boards within
the server. If the problem still persists, replace the power supply and/or the power supply interface board.
•If the DC Out indicators are lit, it can be assumed that power is supplied to the server circuits. If the
console shows that the server is powered up, but server LEDs indicate that power is off, remove and
reseat connectors on the LED status board. (If the problem still persists, replace the LED status board.) If
the console shows that the server is not powered up (server is off), remove and reseat connectors on the
system board. (If the problem still persists, replace the power supply interface board, the MP board, or the
system board.)

be correctly seated or may have been damaged in transit. If you are experiencing hard drive problems,
proceed as follows:
•Remove and reinsert the suspect hard drive(s).
•Swap the hard drive with one from another slot or with a known good spare.
•Remove and reinstall the hard drive backplane. Check that connectors are fully engaged.
•Replace the hard drive backplane.
If Console Problems Occur
Console problems during installations can be caused by faulty interconnections. If you are experiencing
monitor, keyboard, or mouse problems, proceed as follows:
•Check the monitor controls. Adjust contrast and brightness as required.
•Inspect all power and interconnecting cables. Check that all console connectors are fully engaged.
•Check that all MP board connectors are fully engaged.
•Exercise the appropriate self-test features of the console software.
Troubleshooting Using Beep Codes (System e-buzzer)
If a problem is detected when the system is booting, or when it is running, the system e-buzzer emits a series
of audible beeps that present an encoded error message. The e-buzzer emits a different number of beeps for
each type of error. If you do not hear the beeps, or may have miscounted beeps, you can repeat the message by
pressing the front panel power button for 3 to 5 seconds. (Release the power button when you first hear the
e-buzzer. Do not press the power button for more than 5 seconds).
The e-buzzer emits a modem-like sound that is repeated three times. Next, the e-buzzer emits a beep code
consisting of 0 to 7 beeps occurring at 1 second intervals. Each beep lasts 1 second. The e-buzzer does not
report all problems—only the error conditions described here. If the e-buzzer describes an error, check the
front panel LEDs and the system logs for additional information.

Hypothetical Troubleshooting Scenario
The following describes a hypothetical troubleshooting scenario that might occur with your hp Integrity
cx2600 Server.
1. This is the entry point to the troubleshooting process. Here, you pick from a set of symptoms, ranging
from very simple (system LED is blinking) to the most difficult (MCA has occurred). The following is a list
of symptom examples:
•System LED blinking
•System will not power up
•System will not boot
•Machine check abort (MCA) occurred
2. This step narrows down the observed problem to the specific troubleshooting procedure required. Here,
you isolate the failure to a specific part of the machine so that you can perform more detailed
troubleshooting. For example:
•Problem—System LED blinking yellow or red
— If the LED corresponds to a system alert message on the control console, analyze recent errors
logged by the management processor.
— If the diagnostic LEDs identify a probable cause, analyze the logged error messages for additional
information.
3. At this point you will probably know which component of your HP Server needs attention. For example, if
the symptom was “System won’t power up” the initial troubleshooting procedure may have led to a
problem with the power supplies.
4. You have now reached the point where the failed Field Replaceable Unit (FRU or FRUs) have been
identified and need to be replaced. You must now perform the specific remove and replace and verification
steps. See the hp Integrity cx2600, Operation and Maintenance Guide on the documentation CD included
with your system for remove and replace procedures on all FRUs in your HP Server.
NOTEIf multiple FRUs are identified as part of the solution, a fix may not be complete unless all
identified failed FRUs are replaced.
5. There may be specific recovery procedures you need to perform to finish the repair. For example, if the
management processor is replaced, you will need to restore customer-specific information such as user
profiles, network IDs, and passwords. See the hp Integrity cx2600, Operation and Maintenance Guide on
the documentation CD included with your system for procedures on setting up your management
processor.

Input Power
The hp Integrity cx2600 server comes with two power supplies installed: each powered from its own power
cable. The input for each connector is rated for –48 VDC (–40 to –72 VDC) at up to 15 amps (max.). (See
Figure 5-2 for power supply terminals/connections.) The server will function normally with only one power
supply installed, but N+1 redundancy requires that both power supplies be used during normal operations.
Under normal operating conditions, the two power supplies share the load.

Wire Selection and Terminal Lugs for Connection of DC Power
WARNINGAlways check that the power cable is not connected to a power source before
attempting to connect the power cable to server power supply terminals. Failure to
observe this warning could result in personal injury or damage to equipment.
WARNINGFailure to use the appropriate wire and terminal lugs when connecting DC power to
the server could result in personal injury or damage to equipment.
A DC power terminal block is provided at the rear of each DC power supply. All four terminals (2+ and 2-)
should be used. HP recommends a minimum #12 AWG or larger copper conductor be used for connecting DC
power. The wire style and insulation type must be appropriately rated for the application.
Aluminum conductors should be avoided. Aluminum has a coefficient of expansion that differs significantly
from that of other metals commonly used in power hardware. Because of this difference, use of aluminum
conductors can cause connector hardware to loosen, overheat, and fail.
The terminal lugs used to connect DC power must be rated to handle the expected load of 15A/PSU. The width
of the lug can be no larger than 0.3 inches (0.762 cm).

Management Processor (MP)
The management processor is an independent support system for the server. It provides a way for you to
connect to a server and perform administration or monitoring tasks for the server hardware.
The management processor controls power, reset, transfer of control (TOC) capabilities, provides console
access, displays and records system events, and can display detailed information about the various internal
subsystems. The management processor also provides a virtual front panel which can be used to monitor the
front panel LEDs from a remote location.
The management processor is available whenever the system is connected to a power source, even if the hp
Integrity cx2600 server main power switch is in the off position.
Access to the management processor can be restricted by user accounts. User accounts can be password
protected and provide a specific level of access to the server and management processor commands.
Multiple users can interact with the management processor. Users can select any of the following options
from the MP Main Menu: enter management processor command mode, enter console, view event logs, view
console history, display virtual front panel, enter console session, or connect to another management
processor. Multiple users can select different options from the MP Main Menu at the same time. However,
management processor command mode and console mode are mirrored. The MP allows only one user at a
time to have write access to the shared console.
Accessing the Management Processor
You can connect a console to the management processor using either of the following methods:
•Local access-connect a terminal to the rear panel console/remote/UPS port using a breakout cable.
•Network access-connect via web console or telnet to the management processor LAN port, if login access
through the management processor LAN is enabled.
Local Terminal Access to the Management Processor
Communication with the management processor can be established by connecting a terminal to the local MP
I/O serial port (Console/Remote/UPS connector) on the server rear panel. Install the M (breakout) cable and
connect the terminal to the console connector of the M cable.
A terminal session may be established using a standalone terminal, or using terminal emulation software
such as Reflection 1 running on a PC. Install the breakout (M) cable (connect to the Console/Remote/UPS
connector) and connect the terminal to the Console connector.
During installation, communicating with the management processor enables such tasks as:
•Verifying that the components are present and installed correctly
•Setting the LAN IP addresses
Setting Terminal Parameters
After powering on the terminal, ensure the communications settings are as follows:
•8/none (parity)
•9600 baud
•None (receive)
•None (transmit)

Core I/O Connections
If the terminal is a PC using Reflection 1, check or change these communications settings by performing the
following steps:
Step 1. From the Reflection 1 Main screen, pull down the Connection menu and select Connection
Setup.
Step 2. Select Serial Port.
Step 3. Select Com1.
Step 4. Check the settings and change, if required.
Go to More Settings to set Xon/Xoff. Click OK to close the More Settings window.
Step 5. Click OK to close the Connection Setup window.
Step 6. Pull down the Setup menu and select Terminal (under the Emulation tab).
Step 7. Select a supported terminal type.
The preferred type is VT100.
Step 8. Click Apply.
This option is not highlighted if the terminal type you want is already selected.
Step 9. Click OK.
Network Access to the Management Processor
By connecting the management processor LAN port to an active network, another host on the same subnet
can set the management processor IP address via the ping command. After the IP address has been set, a
telnet session can be established to configure additional parameters.
To configure the management processor LAN IP address, perform the following steps:
Step 1. Determine the Medium Access Control (MAC) address of the management processor LAN interface
by viewing the label located at the rear of the server.
Step 2. Connect a LAN cable on your local subnet to the MP LAN port.
Step 3. Add an Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) table entry to another host located on your local subnet.
This ARP table entry will map the MAC address of the core I/O LAN interface to the IP address
chosen for that interface.
NOTEAdding an entry to the ARP table is typically done using the ARP command with the
appropriate option. For example, arp -s is used with Windows. Consult your
operating system documentation for more information.
Step 4. Use the ping command from the host that has the new ARP table entry. The destination address is
the IP address that is mapped to the MAC address of the management processor. The management
processor LAN port should now be configured with the appropriate IP address.
Step 5. Use the telnet command to connect to the management processor from a host on the local subnet.
Interacting with the Management Processor
To interact with the management processor, perform the following steps:

NOTEOn initial system installation, the MP has two default user accounts. They are:
1. Administrator level user; login=Admin, password=Admin (both are case sensitive).
2. Operator level user; login=Oper, password=Oper (both are case sensitive).
For security reasons, it is recommended that the UC command be used during the initial logon
session (enter CM at the MP prompt, and enter UC at the MP:CM> prompt) to modify default
passwords or to delete and create user accounts.
Step 1. Log in using your management processor user account name and password.
NOTEThe management processor will start with the MP Main Menu displayed. To follow
these steps, make sure you are at the Main Menu. If you are not at the Main Menu,
use Ctrl+B to return to the Main Menu.
Step 2. Use the management processor menus and commands as needed. Main Menu commands are shown
in Table 5-1, “Management Processor Commands and Descriptions.” Commands not displayed in
the MP Main Menu can be accessed in command mode by first using the
CM command at the MP
prompt. A list of available commands is presented in and can be displayed by using the
management processor help function (enter
the MP Main Menu by typing
Ctrl+B.

Configuring Management Processor LAN Information
LAN information includes the management processor network name, the management processor IP address,
the management processor subnet mask, the management processor gateway address, and the web console
port number.
To set the management processor LAN IP address:
Step 1. At the MP Main Menu prompt (MP>), enter CM to select command mode.
Step 2. At the command mode prompt (MP:CM>), enter LC (for LAN configuration).
The screen displays the default values and asks if you want to modify them. It is good practice to
write down the information, as it may be required for future troubleshooting. See “The LC
Command Screen”.
