Powering-Up the HP NetServer

NOTE Turn on power to the monitor connected to the E 800 before you power-on the E

800. This allows proper auto-configuration of video output of the E 800 as it boots up.

1. Ensure the HP NetServer's power cord is connected to the power source.

2. Press the Power button on the front control panel.

When you press the power button on the control panel, the NetServer powers up and loads the operating system. The NetServer runs a set of Power On Self-Tests (POST) during this process. For details refer to Chapter 4, "Diagnostics."

Powering-Down the HP NetServer

1. Log off all users and if necessary, back-up files.

◊ Schedule the power down for a time when the fewest users will be affected by the NetServer's

downtime.

◊ If you will be doing any kind of hardware or software upgrade, be sure your NetServer's data

has been backed up.

◊ Follow instructions in your network operating system (NOS) documentation to gracefully shut

down all networking software and applications.

2. Press the power switch on the HP NetServer's control panel when prompted by the operating system.

Normally this completes the power down procedure.

NOTE The power supply will continue to provide standby current to the NetServer until the

power cable is disconnected from the rear panel.

Multiple-Server Configurations

The HP NetServer temporarily draws a large "inrush current," when first connected to an AC power source. This also occurs when the NetServer is in a standby mode (power is turned off and the power cord is plugged into AC power). The inrush current is much greater than the NetServer's normal operating current and generally, the AC power source can handle the normal inrush current.

However, if you install several HP NetServers on one circuit, precautions are necessary. If there is a power failure and power is then restored, all the servers immediately begin to draw inrush current at the same time. If the circuit breakers on the incoming power line have insufficient capability, the breaker may trip and thus prevent the servers from powering up.

When preparing your site for installation, allow for the additional inrush current. See "Power Specifications" in Chapter 2.

Page 14

Chapter 1 General Information

Sleep States (ACPI)

The HP NetServer supports the ACPI (Advanced Configuration and Power Interface) standard, which is a key component of a NOS's directed power management. The supported features are only available when an ACPI-compliant NOS is installed on the NetServer. The term “sleep state” refers to any of several reduced power consumption states in which normal NOS activity has ceased.

The NetServer supports several sleep states, including a sleep state with a short wake-up time, sometimes referred to as “standby” or “suspend” by various operating systems. In this sleep state the NetServer appears to be off, and is indicated by no display on the monitor and no activity for the CD-ROM or internal hard drives. However, the power LED is slowly flashing and the fans are operating.

An additional sleep state supported by the NetServer is one with a slower wake-up time, sometimes referred to as “hibernate” by various operating systems. In this sleep state, the NetServer appears to be off as mentioned earlier, but the fans and the power LED are also turned off. This sleep state's unique feature (and the reason for its slower wake-up time) is that the NetServer's state (applications running, screens open, etc.) just prior to hibernate has been saved to disk and must be restored from disk upon wake-up. However, this method of restoring the NetServer's operation is much faster than a complete rebooting of the NetServer. This method still requires running all the start-up self-tests before starting the NOS, but loading the NOS and all the previously opened applications is much faster.

The NetServer supports certain types of system activity, which are used as wake-up events from sleep states. These wake-up events can be generated from the power button, LAN activity, and scheduled events.

NOTE The HP NetServer’s power management policies (transitions between various power

states) and the user options are specific to the particular ACPI-compliant NOS installed on the NetServer. If your respective NOS is ACPI-compliant, refer to the power management features in the instructions provided for more information.

The HP NetServer’s power button can be configured to initiate a sleep state (Sleep button) or a “soft off” or graceful shutdown of the NOS, rather than an immediate shutdown of the power supply. The power button configurations are dependent on the user interface provided by the ACPI-compliant NOS. While power management is under the control of the ACPI-compliant NOS, the HP NetServer’s power button is capable of an override in case of a non-responsive NOS.

NOTE The HP NetServer power button will force a power down without waiting for the NOS

to gracefully shut down the NetServer when the power button is pressed and held in excess of four seconds.

CAUTION If the power button override is used; there is a strong possibility of corrupted or lost

data

2 System Information

Introduction

This chapter provides information on mass storage, connector pin-outs, accessory guidelines and system specifications.

Mass Storage

The HP NetServer E 800 comes standard with an IDE CD-ROM and a flexible disk drive with some configuration of SCSI hard disk drives. The internal mass storage cage can hold up to 5 additional SCSI drives (including a tape back up drive).

Mass Storage Guidelines

• General Guidelines

◊ Use care when unpacking and handling the SCSI disk drives.

The hard disk drives are very susceptible to mechanical shock and can be easily damaged by a drop as short as one-quarter of an inch. If the drop would crack an egg, it will damage the drive.

◊ Do not stack drives.

◊ The NetServer is internally limited to 7 mass storage shelves.

The flexible disk drive and CD-ROM drive, which are standard on all models of the HP NetServer E 800, occupy shelves 1 and 2 respectively.

◊ If a backup tape drive is used it will occupy shelf 3.

◊ Shelves 4, 5, 6, and 7 are available for SCSI hard drives and one is required for the boot

drive.

• IDE Devices

◊ The embedded IDE controller is an Enhanced-IDE dual channel controller and provides two

connectors (IDE-1 and IDE-2) for IDE devices.

◊ The IDE CD-ROM uses only one connector on the cable from the primary channel (IDE-1)

connector.

◊ A secondary IDE connector (IDE-2) is available, but is not supported by Hewlett-Packard.

• SCSI Device Selection

◊ Use only low-voltage differential (LVD) SCSI devices.

◊ Do not use high voltage differential (HVD) SCSI devices on either of the SCSI channels or

damage will occur.

◊ Ensure the SCSI devices you install do not have terminations. The SCSI drives are

connected to a terminated cable and don't require termination on the SCSI drive.

◊ Use only HP LVD SCSI 1-inch low-profile 3.5-inch hard disk drives for the removable hard

disk drive cage.

Page 16

Chapter 2 System Information

◊ The embedded dual-channel Ultra-2 SCSI controller includes connectors for SCSI channels

A and B.

◊ Channel A is typically used for cabling the factory-installed hard disk drive(s), which may

consist of five SCSI drives (including an optional tape drive). The standard SCSI cable has five, 68-pin, high-density connectors for the SCSI devices and has a terminator on the end of the cable.

◊ The optional HP supplied tape drive comes with a 50-to-68-pin adapter to connect to the

SCSI connector on the cable used to connect the tape drive.

◊ Channel B may be used in a duplexing arrangement or to control an external mass storage

solution. At least two SCSI hard disk drives are required if the duplexing option is used.

Channel B may also be used to connect the optional tape drive, if the lesser speed of the tape drive slows down disk access time of the Ultra-2 SCSI drives.

An additional cable kit is required for duplexing, external mass storage solutions, or connecting the optional tape backup drive.

Boot Priority

The NetServer's boot order should be considered when selecting a PCI slot on the system board. This is especially important if you are installing a board that requires a lower number in the boot order. The board's boot priority is set by its slot location in the boot order.

By default the NetServer searches for boot devices in this order:

1. IDE CD-ROM drive

2. Flexible disk drive

3. Embedded SCSI A (typically the SCSI Drives)

4. Embedded SCSI B (typically the external SCSI Devices)

5. PCI slot 1

6. PCI slot 2

7. PCI slot 3

8. PCI slot 4

9. PCI slot 5

10. PCI slot 6

11. PCI slot 7

The embedded SCSI controller consists of two channels, A and B. Channel A is typically used to control the SCSI hard drives (4) and optional tape back up drive. Channel B is typically used to control the external SCSI devices. On each SCSI channel, the controller scans for a boot device starting at device ID 0 and works through the ID numbers. The NetServer's embedded controller is always SCSI ID 7. If an optional SCSI backup tape drive is used it would take address ID 4.

NOTE The boot order can be changed using the NetServer's (BIOS) Setup Utility and the

SCSI Select Utility.

*** Both SCSI channels (A and B) can each support up to 7 devices; however, there are only enough

internal storage shelves for four hard drives and one optional tape backup device, which is typically connected to Channel A. Channel B is typically used to control external SCSI devices. If you decide to duplex internal drives using Channel B, you are restricted to the internal drives only.

Installed Devices and Addresses

Duplexing Hard Drives

You may choose to duplex the drives in the HP NetServer's removable hard disk drive cage (only four drives possible). The NetServer supports an option to duplex the drives using the embedded dual channel SCSI controllers (SCSI A and B). There must be at least two SCSI drives available in the hard disk drive cage to duplex the drives. The NetServer also supports HP's NetRAID 1Si PCI Controller board to control the two duplexed channels.

CAUTION To prevent damage to the embedded SCSI controller, don't use a HVD (High

Voltage Differential) device.

External SCSI Connector

The HP NetServer E 800 can be configured to extend one of its SCSI channels (typically channel B) to an external SCSI connector. This allows connection of additional mass storage devices to the second channel of the NetServer’s embedded controller. It requires a second SCSI cable, HP NetServer E 800 Internal/External SCSI Cable Kit (P/N P1774A).

Page 18

Chapter 2 System Information

Memory Guidelines

• The HP NetServer E 800 only uses 133 MHz (PC133) SDRAM DIMMs, which are electrically

different from the EDO and PC100 SDRAM memory modules used in previous HP NetServer models.

• DIMMs sizes supported are 128 MB, 256 MB, or 512 MB buffered in any combination.

• Supported memory capacity ranges from 128 MB to 2 GB maximum (512 MB per DIMM slot x 4

DIMM slots total). The minimum capacity is 128 MB (one DIMM).

• DIMM sizes may be mixed on the system board and may be loaded in any order (0 through 3).

However, HP recommends starting at slot 0 and filling the slots in order: 0, 1, 2, and 3.

• Empty slots between DIMMs are permitted.

• When handling DIMMs, observe anti-static precautions to avoid damage.

To ensure you have the correct DIMMs before installation, refer to one of the following for a list of qualified DIMMs:

• HP Order Assistant on the HP web site at:

http://www.hp.com/go/netserver

• HP Customer Service

Four MB of video memory is provided on the system board and cannot be upgraded.

Accessory Board Guidelines

The system board in the HP NetServer E 800 provides up to seven PCI slots (P1 through P7), five 32-bits lots and two 64-bit slots.

Tested PCI Boards

For a list of tested PCI boards, check for compatibility under the Hardware Tested Products list for the HP NetServer E 800 under the Service and Support topic for the specific NOS used in the NetServer at HP’s web site:

http://netserver.hp.com/netserver/support/compatibility/compatibility.asp

CAUTION Some accessory board outputs may exceed U.S. National Electrical code (NFPA

70) Class 2 or limited power source limits and must use appropriate inter-connecting cabling in accordance with the National Electrical Code. (All HP boards comply with Class 2.)

IRQ Settings

The IRQ settings are automatically assigned and don't require user intervention. The HP NetServer uses the Plug-and-Play feature of the PCI boards to correctly assign its resources automatically.

Page 19

Chapter 2 System Information

Using the Primary or Secondary PCI Bus

The E 800 has a Primary PCI bus and Secondary PCI bus supporting seven PCI accessory slots. The two busses are peer to peer which provides approximately equal performance except when using the two 64-bit slots versus the 32-bit slots.

PCI Slots PCI Bus

Slots 1 through 4 Primary PCI Bus

Slots 5 through 7 Secondary PCI Bus

Diagnostic Tests

When the server boots, a series of tests are displayed on the screen. The number of tests displayed depends on the configuration of the server. The following are the kinds of errors a user might get with the HP NetServer.

• Built-in diagnostic Error Messages.

• BIOS and other error messages. These are errors detected by the system BIOS outside the

built-in diagnostics or application errors.

To see the Power On Self-Tests (POST):

• The HP NetServer must be functionally able to run the diagnostics.

• The video subsystem must be functional.

• The keyboard must be functional.

NOTE BIOS ROM version number is displayed on the monitor screen during power-up.

Diagnostics Description

The diagnostics (Power-On Self-Test "POST") run automatically each time the NetServer is powered on. These diagnostics, which reside in the BIOS ROM, isolate server-related logic failures and indicate the board or component that needs to be replaced, as indicated by the Error Messages. Most NetServer hardware failures will be accurately isolated by the diagnostic

WARNING You should always turn off the power and disconnect the power cord to the

NetServer before attempting to remove the cover and touch the internal components. Failing to do so can expose you to electric shock and the server's components to damage. The power switch does NOT turn off standby power, so disconnect the power cord to turn off standby power.

HP NetServer DiagTools

The purpose of hardware diagnostic software is to provide tools for checking hardware problems. By design, diagnostic software executes simple tests of each hardware component. Usually, such tests assure that hardware is not the source of NetServer problems. This allows the user to eliminate hardware as the cause of the problem and to focus on operating system configuration parameters, network connections, and application software configuration parameters as the source of the problem.

If hardware problems are confirmed, the diagnostic software program can sometimes detect and diagnose the subsystem or specific NetServer component causing of the problem. In addition, diagnostic tools can capture information that allows support personnel to quickly assess the condition of the NetServer.

Page 36

Chapter 4 Diagnostics

In order to be effective, diagnostic software tools must be used in the context of a wider troubleshooting procedure.

DiagTools Capabilities

DiagTools for HP NetServers is a set of off-line diagnostic tests, including tests for system and processor components, memory and storage elements, ports, and input/output devices. DiagTools is supplied on the HP StartUp CD-ROM.

The user prepares DiagTools software for use by transferring it to diskette. Then the DiagTools diskette is used to boot the server. A basic suite of tools checks key NetServer components, and a menu of advanced tests is available for in-depth testing.

DiagTools has the ability to test the following components:

l system board l processors

l memory modules l hard disk drives

l flexible disk drives l keyboards

l parallel ports l CD-ROM drives

l video monitor

DiagTools is an off-line diagnostic. Off-line diagnostics do not use the main operating system (OS) of the HP NetServer. The alternate DiagTools OS has far fewer features than the full-fledged OS. Thus, its capabilities are limited to a set of basic tests and a series of advanced tests. In addition, DiagTools does not use any tests, which might write over and thus destroy user data. Tests that require user inputs or decisions are left to the advanced series of tests.

You can use DiagTools to perform the tasks listed below:

• display a high-level inventory of the NetServer under test

• save and print a detailed inventory of hardware components

• conduct a basic test of components listed in the NetServer inventory

• display “PASSED” or “FAILED” overall results of basic tests

• record detailed test results of basic NetServer tests

• display a menu of advanced tests

• select and run one or a series of advanced tests

• add the record of results of advanced tests to the record of basic tests

• view a list to locate the meaning of a specific error code

• view one or more steps to help confirm and isolate error conditions

• browse the Support Ticket, which contains the detailed inventories and test results

• add comments to the Support Ticket

Page 37

Chapter 4 Diagnostics

About Error Messages

A hexadecimal number designates each error message reported by DiagTools; a short note on the type of error; and a list of one or more steps the user can take in response. When you run a test, it exercises many aspects of the hardware, so the number of possible error messages exceeds 300. Most of these are encountered rarely, if ever.

Error codes can be viewed on line from the DiagTools User menu within the advanced series of tests, or you can refer to Chapter 3 of the HP NetServer DiagTools Error Reference and User Guide.

Advantages and Limitations of Hardware Diagnostics

Off-line diagnostic software is useful in making sure that hardware has been eliminated as the cause for possible NetServer problems. Such diagnostic tools can easily be shipped with a server, and they are relatively easy to use.

Only experienced personnel knowledgeable of its limitations should use off-line diagnostic software.

Some limitations are:

• booting the NetServer from the diagnostics diskette

• no access to operating system error logs, since the OS is not operating at the same time as the

diagnostic tools

• limited ability to test only a single component at a time

• inability to indicate problems with wrongly configured NetServers or the network

Power-On Self Test (POST) Error Messages:

Error messages (POST Codes) are encountered if an error condition occurs during the boot process of the HP NetServer E 800. All codes and their respective descriptions are listed in the following table, and all the codes may not apply to your NetServer.

General NetServer Problems

No lights are on and no error message appears

If the NetServer does not work (no lights are on, including backlighting on models with LCDs) and no error message appears, check the following:

1. Verify that power is good and available

2. Make sure that the NetServer is turned on (the power-on light should be green and the fans should be on).

3. Turn the NetServer off and unplug the power cords. Wait 30 seconds and plug the power cords in and turn the NetServer on. Verify the failure.

4. Verify all boards are installed properly and seated firmly in the slots with cables firmly connected.

5. If the NetServer stopped working after you installed a new accessory, remove the accessory and turn on the server. If the NetServer now works, go to step 8.

6. If the NetServer still does not work, remove all accessory that you have installed (do not remove the flexible or hard disk drives) and turn on the server.

7. If the NetServer now works, turn off the NetServer; add one accessory at a time to determine which one is causing the problem. Turn on the NetServer after installing each board or option. When the problem returns, the last board or option installed is defective.

Page 55

Chapter 5 Troubleshooting

8. If you have added any memory, make sure that the modules are seated properly on the processor board.

The application or operating system is not responding properly

1. In NetServer models with accessible cache feature, determine if the memory cache feature is turned on or off.

Memory cache may need to be turned off for some older software. It may also need to be turned off for those accessory boards that have on-board firmware, and for those boards that use memory-mapped I/O.

2. If necessary, turn off the memory cache feature. Check the state of memory cache and, if necessary, disable it:

a. Push F2 during the boot process

b. Go to configuration and turn off Memory Caching

The NetServer stops working (hangs)

Typically, if the NetServer hangs before the end of the POST completes, the problem is probably a hardware failure. If the NetServer hangs after the POST completes, the problem is probably due to an incorrectly configured or corrupt driver, operating system, or application program, or a media (disk drive) error.

If the NetServer stops working, try the following:

1. Review the Troubleshooting Checklist before you continue.

2. Turn the NetServer off and unplug the power cords. Wait 30 seconds and plug the power cords in and turn it on. Verify the failure.

3. If the problem persists, replace the system board.

4. Once a problem has been found with a part, verify that it is the problem (or the only problem) by reinstalling the part and replicating the error.

The NetServer does not start (boot)

Locate the memory modules (SIMMs/DIMMs).

NOTE The POST error messages reflect which modules are defective and should be

replaced.

1. Review the Troubleshooting Checklist before you continue.

2. Power the NetServer off and on (rather than using Ctrl-Alt-Del) as it is a more complete system reset.

3. On NetServers with diagnostic LEDs near the DIMM sockets, note any blink codes.

4. If the POST reports a problem, check the error against the Error Messages and correct the problem.

5. Verify the video subsystem is configured correctly.

6. Verify the memory DIMMs are all of the same (specified) speed.

7. Verify the memory DIMMs are installed and configured correctly:

a. Make sure only HP-supported DIMMs are used.

Page 56

Chapter 5 Troubleshooting

b. Remove the system board, install a known good memory module, and reboot. If you still

receive an error, replace the system board.

If the error goes away, add another module and reboot again. Continue this process until you have installed all memory modules or you experience a failure. Replace the defective module(s).

8. Remove one accessory board at a time and reboot the NetServer. Verify the problem.

9. Once a suspect part has been found, verify that it is the problem by reinstalling the part and duplicating the error.

Power Problems

e. Verify the third-wire ground is isolated from other grounds and is at ground potential.

3. Verify all cable connections:

◊◊◊◊ AC power cords from AC source outlet to server

◊◊◊◊ DC Power supply cables to all NetServer PCBs

◊◊◊◊ DC power supply cables to disk drives and/or mass storage cages

4. If the fans aren't audible and the above steps are verified, check that power is getting to all fans. HP NetServers have multiple fans. All fans run when power is turned on; all are off when the power is off.

With the power supply connected to the system board, check the power supply's voltages.

5. If voltages are not present:

a. Turn off AC power.

b. Disconnect the power cords for 5 minutes in order to reset the power supply's circuitry.

Turn on AC power again. If power is still not getting to the system board, replace the power supply (or power supply module on some NetServer models).

6. If power is getting to the fan but the fan isn't working, replace the fan (or replace the power supply in NetServer models with fans incorporated in the power supply).

7. If the problem continues, replace the power supply module.

Page 57

Chapter 5 Troubleshooting

8. If, after replacing the power supply, the problem persists:

a. Remove all accessory boards, including any hard disk drive controller board or the video

board the customer might have installed, and reboot the NetServer.

If you installed a video board and are not using the built-in video system, go to Step 12.

If you have two video monitors connected, test the monitors to make sure they are working (Step 1-4) then go to Step 10.

1. Review the Troubleshooting Checklist before you continue.

2. Check the contrast and brightness controls to ensure each is adjusted.

3. Verify the video and power cords are connected to the monitor.

4. Ensure there is adequate power:

a. Verify the display power switch is turned on.

b. Verify the display power cord is connected to an AC power outlet and the video cable

connected to the server's video connector.

c. Plug in a known working device to ensure there is power to the outlet or use the proper

testing device to check the power outlet.

d. Turn the monitor off and on, and if the monitor has an on/off LED, see if it lights.

e. Turn the Clear Configuration switch on the system board to OFF and reboot the NetServer.

Check if the problem persists.

5. Turn on the NetServer and wait a full 2 minutes. Verify the monitor starts displaying normally.

6. If the problem persists, and if the power cord is detachable, try a known good power cord.

7. Unplug the power cord and wait 30 seconds. Plug in the power cord and turn on the NetServer. Wait a full 2 minutes. Check that the monitor starts displaying normally.

8. Check the monitor display to see if the system memory count takes place correctly.

a. Turn the NetServer off and then on. Check to see if the memory is counted during the

NetServer boot. If no count occurs, go to Step 10.

b. Check to see if the count occurs in the color appropriate for the monitor.

If the count occurs in the wrong color, the problem may be with the video subsystem, the

monitor, or the monitor cable. (Continue with the troubleshooting steps.)

Page 58

Chapter 5 Troubleshooting

9. If you are using a video screen saver utility and the screen goes blank while using the keyboard, you may be using an application that turns off the screen even when you are using the keyboard. Refer to the manual that came with the screen saver utility.

10. Ensure the memory modules (DIMMs) are correctly seated in their slots. You may want to remove and reinstall each memory module to ensure it does not cause the problem. Verify the correct type, size, and combinations of modules for this model NetServer are installed.

11. To see if the display is functioning:

a. Turn off the monitor and the server.

b. Disconnect the video cable from the video connector.

c. Turn on the monitor.

Monitor Notes:

◊◊◊◊ When most EGA and VGA monitors are disconnected from the video connector, if the

monitor is working, the screen is white.

◊◊◊◊ When some monitors (such as HP high-resolution monitors) are disconnected from the video

connector, the monitor may be working, although the screen is black.

◊◊◊◊ If the display is black or white when it should be in color, check the monitor cable to see if a

pin is bent. If a pin is bent, slowly but carefully straighten the pin. Replace the cable if the pin cannot be straightened successfully.

◊◊◊◊ If a monitor tester is available, use it to check the display.

◊◊◊◊ If you suspect the monitor is faulty, replace it with a known good monitor. Then reinstall the

original monitor and duplicate the error.

12. Verify the monitor is working by plugging it into a know-good NetServer or computer.

13. Check to see if the monitor connector's pins are bent. If the pins are bent, slowly but carefully straighten each pin.

14. Connect the monitor cable to the NetServer video connector and turn on the NetServer. If there is a display, but characters are the wrong size or the display is the wrong color:

a. Check whether the monitor is a color or monochrome monitor.

b. Verify the video cable is properly inserted in the connector on the back of the computer.

c. Check for bent pins on the connectors.

15. If the customer has installed a video board instead of using the built-in video, make sure all jumpers and switches are set properly on the installed video board. (See the manual for the video board.)

16. If the monitor displays a badly scrambled image that looks to be the current screen image, then the monitor is not synchronizing correctly.

◊◊◊◊ If a video board is installed, replace it with a known good one. The video timing setting on

the board may be bad.

◊◊◊◊ If it is the on-board video, replace the system board.

17. If a video board is installed and the built-in video is used:

a. Make sure the video board/built-in video combination is supported. Usually, two video

systems (for example, internal video and a video adapter board) cannot be used at the same time.

b. If there is still a problem, make sure the board is seated correctly.

Flexible Disk Drive Problems

Symptoms:

• There are lost clusters

Page 62

Chapter 5 Troubleshooting

• There are read/write errors

• The NetServer will not start from a diskette

If you cannot boot from, write to, or format the flexible disk, do the following:

1. Review the Troubleshooting Checklist and read about Boot Device Priority before you continue.

2. Try booting from a good known flexible disk.

3. Check to see if boot from CD-ROM is enabled and if there is a bootable CD in the CD-ROM drive.

4. Select the Setup Utility (press [F2] during the boot process and check that the NetServer's mass storage configuration is correct. If for some reason you cannot run the Setup, you can clear CMOS and reconfigure the server.

Try to reboot.

5. If you cannot format or write to a flexible disk:

◊◊◊◊ Ensure diskette is not write protected.

◊◊◊◊ Ensure disk drive is properly configured with the Setup utility. Make sure that "Start from

Flexible Disk" option is disabled.

6. Verfiy all internal drive cables are securely attached and functional. Inspect the cables and reseat the connectors at both ends.

7. If the cables are securely attached, and the drive still does not work, replace the cables with known good cables, one at a time.

8. If the problem persists, and/or there is an error code, replace the faulty part (the drive, the system board, etc.)

9. If the problem persists, check for environmental problems that can damage disk media and disk drive heads.

Environmental problems result from:

◊◊◊◊ Radiated Interference: Sources include communications and radar installations (such as at

an airport), radio/TV broadcast transmitters, and hand-held receivers.

◊◊◊◊ Airborne Contaminants: Sources include dust, smoke, and ashes. Steam from duplication

equipment may result in intermittent disk errors.

CD-ROM Problems

Symptom:

• The CD-ROM drawer will not open

If the CD-ROM drawer fails to open when you press the Eject Button or with software commands, do the following:

1. Turn off all power to the computer.

2. To open the drawer, insert a pointed object, such as a paper clip, into the emergency eject hole and push in about 1.75 inches (40 mm).

Page 63

Chapter 5 Troubleshooting

Insert paper clip

3. Remove the disk and close the drawer.

4. After you remove the disk, start the computer and try to open the drawer again with the Eject Button or software commands.

5. If the drawer still will not open, replace the CD-ROM drive with a working unit.

Symptom:

• The CD-ROM drive is not working properly

The CD-ROM drive that comes with certain HP NetServer models is a SCSI device; others are IDE devices. If the CD-ROM drive does not work, do the following:

1. Review the basic SCSI installation guidelines to ensure a proper configuration.

2. In addition, check the following:

◊◊◊◊ Verify correct drivers are installed.

◊◊◊◊ Verify a CD-ROM disk in the CD-ROM drive.

◊◊◊◊ Verify all internal drive cables are securely attached and functional.

3. If the drive is a Hewlett-Packard CD-ROM drive, review the CD-ROM Installation Guide for any special installation instructions.

4. Try installing a known good CD-ROM drive

5. If the problem persists, check for environmental problems that can damage disk media and disk drive heads. Environmental problems result from:

◊◊◊◊ Radiated Interference: Sources include communications and radar installations, radio/TV

broadcast transmitters, and hand-held receivers.

◊◊◊◊ Airborne Contaminants: Sources include dust, smoke, and ashes. Steam from duplication

equipment may result in intermittent disk errors.

Symptom:

• The NetServer won't boot from the CD-ROM

Use the Setup Utility to make sure the CD-ROM drive is bootable:

1. Review the Troubleshooting Checklist and Boot Device Priority

2. Run the Setup Utility.

3. Enable support for bootable CD-ROM.

Page 64

Chapter 5 Troubleshooting

4. Save and exit the utility.

SCSI Problems

Symptom:

• The external SCSI subsystem does not work after installation

If the external SCSI subsystem does not work after installation, do the following:

1. Review the Troubleshooting Checklist and read Mass Storage Guidelines.

2. Run the DiagTools and verify the integrity of the SCSI buses, and other switch settings on the external storage devices are correct. Verify that each SCSI device is assigned a unique SCSI ID.

3. Refer to the documentation that came with the SCSI devices for any specific information on installing them.

4. Ensure all installed SCSI controllers are installed and configured correctly.

5. For any SCSI devices installed in an enclosure external to the NetServer chassis, make sure that Ultra SCSI is disabled on this controller. SCSI devices external to the NetServer chassis are supported in Fast SCSI mode only.

6. Check the SCSI cables for problems that may have been caused by recent computer maintenance, hardware upgrades, or physical damage.

7. Check the ROM BIOS version to make sure it is the most recently issued version. Booting the

most recent version of the HP NetServer Navigator CD-ROM will automatically report if the BIOS is not current and needs updating (“flashing”). Follow the instructions in the screen to update the BIOS.

8. Check that the external SCSI subsystem BIOS is being executed properly.

◊◊◊◊ When you start the server, the incrementing count of the RAM appears on the screen. Then

the external SCSI BIOS displays a banner and a copyright notice.

◊◊◊◊ The BIOS then checks for valid devices on the SCSI bus, and reports which devices are

found. If you have installed and configured the SCSI devices correctly, you will see a list confirming all SCSI devices installed in the NetServer.

◊◊◊◊ If the banner is not displayed, the external SCSI controller is not recognized.

9. Verify the SCSI bus is terminated at both ends. By default, HP SCSI controllers are terminated. When a device is connected to a connector on the controller, bus termination for that connector is disabled. Verify that the last device on the bus is terminated.

10. Ensure no device is set to SCSI ID7; this is the SCSI ID used by the SCSI controller.

11. Verify all SCSI devices are either single-ended or differential SCSI devices (depending on the NetServer model), and that any bus does not contain both types.

12. Verify the SCSI hard disk drive that loads the operating system is set to the lowest SCSI address (usually set to 0).

13. If a second hard disk drive is connected to the SCSI cable, check it for proper SCSI address, SCSI cable connection, proper power, and jumper settings.

14. Disconnect all SCSI devices except the integrated SCSI adapter and the drive at SCSI address 0, and try again. If this fails, try substituting a known good SCSI adapter board and a good hard disk drive.

Page 65

Chapter 5 Troubleshooting

Symptom:

• The SCSI BIOS has trouble loading

If the NetServer has trouble loading the SCSI BIOS, do the following:

1. Review the Troubleshooting Checklist before you continue.

2. If you installed more than one SCSI controller, make sure that the BIOS of all SCSI controllers are disabled except for the boot controller. This lets the SCSI BIOS for the boot controller load.

3. Determine what the boot device priority is for the NetServer model. Verify that the boot device is in the right place in the priority.

Symptom:

• The SCSI subsystem does not work at installation

An incorrect configuration and not faulty hardware cause many SCSI problems. If the SCSI subsystem does not work after installation, do the following:

1. Review the Troubleshooting Checklist and Mass Storage Guidelines before you continue.

2. Run the DiagTools and verify the integrity of the SCSI buses, and other switch settings on the external storage devices are correct. Verify that each SCSI device is assigned a unique SCSI ID.

3. If you don't see the SCSI BIOS banner during NetServer start:

◊◊◊◊ Check the cable connections.

◊◊◊◊ Check the SCSI termination.

4. Run the Setup Utility or SCSI Configuration Utility and verify the SCSI host bus adapter (HBA) is properly configured.

The HBA is usually SCSI ID 7.

5. If you installed more than one SCSI adapter, verify each adapter is set to a separate BIOS address; or disable the BIOS on all of the adapters except one.

6. For each device, verify;

◊◊◊◊ The device has a unique SCSI address.

◊◊◊◊ In general, when selecting an address for a drive (default address is 0), select as low a SCSI

address as possible.

◊◊◊◊ The device's jumpers are set according to the device documentation.

◊◊◊◊ The hard disk activity light cable (for non-hot-swap devices) is properly installed.

7. Check that the primary SCSI hard disk drive is set to the lowest address (usually set to 0). Each device (the HBA is also a device) must have a unique and separate SCSI ID number. To solve this problem, simply set the device ID to something other than that of the HBAs SCSI ID (7). If the device is a boot drive, then the SCSI ID should be set at 0.

8. If another hard disk drive is connected to the SCSI bus, check it for unique address, SCSI cable connection, and power connection.

Page 66

Chapter 5 Troubleshooting

9. Check the SCSI bus cable for correct orientation, alignment, and seating on the SCSI adapter and the SCSI device.

10. Check for the correct Hewlett-Packard internal and external SCSI cables.

11. Check that all SCSI devices are connected to power, and power-on all SCSI devices before or at the same time as the NetServer to ensure a stable SCSI bus.

12. Watch the boot screen for all SCSI devices to be displayed. For example, in a NetServer with 1 SCSI controller and 2 hard disk drives (one with ID 0 and one with ID 1), if a valid device is found at device address 0, but not at address 1, you would see these device validation lines on the boot screen:

Channel x, SCSI ID #n - id info - Drive C: (80h)

If you see this message:

a. Verify that the SCSI hard disk drive is set to address 1.

b. Check the SCSI bus cable for correct orientation, alignment, and seating on the host adapter

and the hard disk drive.

c. Verify that terminators are installed at each end of the SCSI bus, but not on any other

devices. The hot swap cage printed circuit board has automatic termination that disconnects when a cable is attached.

d. Verify all SCSI devices on the bus are appropriate for that bus (only single-ended SCSI

devices on the single-ended bus; only differential SCSI devices on the differential bus).

13. If the NetServer still fails to recognize the SCSI drive, disconnect all SCSI devices except the host adapter and the drive at SCSI address 0 and try again. If the NetServer fails, try substituting a known good hard disk drive.

14. If the SCSI BIOS has properly identified device 0 and has installed it as drive C, but cannot find a device at address 1, and in addition, if no further messages are displayed, it indicates the NetServer cannot load the operating system from device 0, check the following:

a. If a second hard disk drive is connected to the SCSI bus, check it for proper address

selection, SCSI cable connection, and proper power.

b. Partition the hard disk drive if required.

15. Use only SCSI devices without built-in terminators.

The HP NetServer embedded controllers are terminated automatically on the hot swap cage or at the end of the SCSI cable. If you are installing a SCSI device that uses a built-in terminator, you must remove the terminator from the device before proceeding with the installation.

Use only the HP NetServer SCSI cables for the SCSI hot swap subsystem.

16. Verify all SCSI devices on the bus are appropriate for that bus (only single-ended SCSI devices on the single-ended bus; only differential SCSI devices on the differential bus).

17. Disconnect all SCSI devices except the SCSI adapter and the drive at SCSI address 0, and try again. If this fails, try substituting a known good SCSI adapter and disk drive.

18. Use the Setup Utility to check for resource conflicts, especially if new boards or accessories have been added.

Page 67

Chapter 5 Troubleshooting

Symptom:

• The SCSI subsystem stops working

If the SCSI subsystem should stop working, do the following:

1. Review the Troubleshooting Checklist and Mass Storage Guidelines before you continue.

2. Run DiagTools. Verify that the SCSI ID and other switch settings are correct and get specific information or verification that the problem is the SCSI bus.

3. If an accessory board was added recently, check if there is a resource conflict between the new board and an existing accessory board. Also, if you have changed the options on an existing board, there may be a resource conflict.

a. Remove the new board and restart the computer. If this corrects the problem, the board is

either defective or it is trying to use a system resource used by the SCSI subsystem.

b. Check if the board is using memory, I/O addresses, or interrupt lines that are also used by

the SCSI subsystem.

4. Check to see if there have been recent changes to any software. For example, has anyone moved, removed, or changed the configuration files or drivers? Refer to the software documentation for more information.

5. If you suspect hardware failure and there are no system error messages, check each component associated with the failure. Equipment failure is probably the most unlikely reason for a SCSI subsystem failure.

Processor Problems

If a problem exists with the NetServer processor;

1. Remove and reseat the processor module(s).

2. Replace each of these components, one-at-a-time, with a known-good component, and retest the NetServer:

• Processor

• Terminator (if so equipped)

CAUTION Do not push on the processor components; push only on the edge. Pushing on the

device may damage it.

3. If the fault persists, replace the system board.

Memory Problems

The memory modules are DIMMs.

NOTE If the POST (displayed at power-on time) indicates a defective memory module,

replace it.

1. Review the Troubleshooting Checklist before you continue.

Page 68

Chapter 5 Troubleshooting

2. If memory problems are being experienced, power the NetServer off and on. This performs a "cold" restart, rather than a "warm" restart (as it does when you press Ctrl+Alt+Del).

3. Check the BIOS event log (available on certain NetServer models) for messages indicating memory errors.

4. Run the DiagTools memory test.

5. Reseat the memory modules.

6. To check that the modules are installed and configured correctly:

a. Run the Setup Utility and check the configuration.

b. Install one known good DIMM. If you still receive an error, replace the system board.

If the error goes away, add another DIMM and reboot again. Continue this process until you have installed all DIMMs or you experience a failure.

Replace the defective DIMM.

7. Once a suspect part has been found, verify the cause of the problem by reinstalling the part and attempting to duplicate the error. Also install it in another memory socket to confirm whether or not the socket is defective.

Network Interface Card Problems

See the appropriate Network Interface Card documentation.

Symptom:

• If the adapter can't connect to the network

1. Make sure the cabling is installed properly.

2. Most hub and switch connections require straight-through cable; consult their documentation. If you're directly connecting two computers (with no hub or other device), use a “crossover” cable.

3. Verify there are no resource conflicts between the NIC and any other accessories in the NetServer. Check the Setup Utility.

4. Check the LEDs on the adapter at the back of the computer to see if any show activity. No lit LEDs probably indicate a bad network cable, hub connection or other network error.

5. Ensure you're using the latest and correct drivers. Verify the drivers are intended for this adapter.

6. Ensure the port on the switch or hub (or other device) has the same duplex setting as the adapter.

7. If you configured the adapter for full duplex, make sure the switch port is also configured for full duplex. Setting the wrong duplex mode can degrade performance, cause data loss, or result in lost connections.

8. Test the adapter as directed in the installation tasks for each operating system. Also check the “README” files on the support disk.

Replacing the Processor

1. Ensure the processor speed of the second processor (CPU 2) is the same as the existing processor before installing the second processor.

NOTE If you are upgrading the second processor to a faster processor speed than the

primary processor, the primary processor must also be changed. Both processors must have the same product number, which includes the same clock speed, cache size, and FSB speed. The supported processors only perform at the rated speed indicated on the processor in the HP NetServer.

2. Open the ZIF (Zero Insertion Force) lever to allow removal of the terminator installed in the processor socket.

You need to pull the lever out away from the ZIF socket and then raise it to a full 90 system board.

The socket has a mark for pin-1 that should match the mark for pin-1 on the processor near the end of the ZIF lever.

CAUTION Ensure you align pin-1 of the processor with pin-1 of the processor socket or pin

damage will occur.

5. Insert the second processor into the socket and close the ZIF lever to fully seat the processor.

Pin-1 Mark

You should hear the ZIF lever click when it closes properly.

Installing the Cooling Fan-Heatsink

Once the processor is installed, the cooling fan-heatsink must be installed on top of the processor. Each processor requires a heatsink, with its cooling fan attached, and a thermal bonding between the processor and the heatsink, provided with the white thermal patch. The heatsink is mechanically connected to the processor socket with both latches, mechanically making contact with processor.

1. Remove the heatsink-fan assembly from the shipping container and ensure you do not touch the thermal patch on the bottom of the heatsink.

2. Ensure the latches are free and pointing away from the heatsink.

3. Position the heatsink over the second processor and:

a. Tilt or roll it slightly to the rear of the chassis to help engage the hook latch and then connect

the hook latch to the tab.

b. Rotate the heatsink back, placing it squarely on top of the processor and connect the thumb

latch to the tab on the base of the processor socket.

The hook latch and thumb latch both hook underneath the tabs extending from the base of the processor socket base.
