Chapter 2 About this guide
In this chapter
"Maintenance and diagnostics overview" (page 13)
Maintenance and diagnostics overview
The maintenance and diagnostic activities discussed in this guide are divided into two groups of activities:
troubleshooting and diagnostics (identifying the cause of system problems and resolving them)
performing hardware maintenance
This guide is for administrators, technicians, and engineers responsible for maintaining a CallPilot server. This guide assumes that you have basic computing skills, and are familiar with necessary safety procedures.
If you are not able to resolve your system problem with the resources described in this guide, you can also refer to the following document:
Troubleshooting Guide (NN44200-700)
Note: Nortel continually updates the Troubleshooting Guide, which is available from the Partner Information Center (PIC) at
h
ttp://www.nortel.com/pic.
The "Starting up and shutting down the CallPilot server" chapter in the Installation and Configuration Task List (NN44200-306) explains how to restart, shut down, and power up the CallPilot server. You may be asked to perform one or more of these tasks while maintaining your server.
When you purchased your CallPilot server, it came preinstalled with the Windows operating system and CallPilot server software. If your CallPilot server no longer functions because of a software problem, you may need to reinstall the CallPilot software or rebuild the system.

Startup diagnostics overview
This section contains procedures for interpreting the startup diagnostics on the 1002rp server.
Types of startup diagnostics
The following types of startup diagnostics are available on the server:
basic hardware check (for example LEDs)
Power-On Self-Test (POST) diagnostics
SCSI controller diagnostics or RAID controller diagnostics
These diagnostics are available at initial system startup, or after any 1002rp server reset.
Basic hardware check
This section describes some basic checks that you can do when you start up the server.

18 Chapter 3 Troubleshooting your CallPilot system
To run the startup test
Step Action 1
Power on the server and observe the front panel display. Result: All LEDs on the panel illuminate for a few seconds. The
green power LED remains illuminated.
2
Observe the following server actions:
Cooling fans on the front panel start up, and the red fault LED next to each fan extinguishes.
Drives spin up, and the amber hard drive activity LEDs over the front panel display extinguish, and then flash with activity.
LEDs illuminate temporarily as the system checks the floppy drive, tape drive, and CD-ROM drive.
The LED on each power supply lights up red as supply fans spin up and components charge. LEDs turn green when the attached power supply is fully operational.
3
Check the monitor for any error messages as the server counts RAM and completes a POST.
See "Power-On Self-Test diagnostics" (page 18) for more details on POST.
—End—
Power-On Self-Test diagnostics
The Power-On Self-Test (POST) is a system diagnostic program (stored in the BIOS) that runs each time the 1002rp server is started. The function of the POST is to test system components and then display status messages.
To run the POST
Step Action 1
Power up the CallPilot server and monitor. Result: After a few seconds, POST begins to run. After the memory test, various screen prompts and messages
appear. The screen prompts may be accompanied by a single beep.
2
Observe the screen for any error messages and listen for POST beep codes. When POST completes, the server beeps once.

.
Interpreting POST diagnostics 19
If the server halts before POST is finished, the server emits a beep code indicating that a fatal system error requires immediate attention. See "Interpreting POST diagnostics" (page 19) for details.
If POST can display a message on the monitor, the server emits two beeps as the message appears.
Record the message that appears on the monitor and the beep code that you hear. This information is useful if you need assistance from your technical support representative.
—End—
Interpreting POST diagnostics
This section provides an explanation of the POST diagnostic codes.
POST beep codes
If an error occurs before video initialization, POST emits beep codes that indicate errors in hardware, software, or firmware.
A beep code is a series of separate tones, each equal in length. Record the beep code sequence before calling Nortel technical support.
ATTENTION
Some POST beep codes are fatal and may require that you replace the Single Board Card (SBC). See the table below for more information about beep codes.
POST beep codes
Beep count Error message Description
1
Refresh Failure The memory refresh circuitry of the processor
board is faulty.
2
Parity Error A parity error was detected in the base memory
(the first block of 64 kbytes) of the system.
3
Base 64KB Memory Failure
A memory failure occurred within the first 64 kbytes of memory.
4
Timer Not Operational

CallPilot Event Browser or Alarm Monitor in CallPilot Manager Note: The Event Browser and Alarm Monitor include online Help for
events, which may help you to resolve the problem. If you cannot log on to the CallPilot system using a web browser due to server problems, then use the Windows Event Viewer.
Types of event logs
Three types of event logs are available from the Windows Event Viewer, as follows:
Log type Description
System Logs events by Windows components, including RRAS
or other Windows services.

The tracert command
This utility determines the route taken to a destination.
How tracert works
The tracert utility follows several steps to complete its task:
Tracert sends Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP) echo packets with varying Time-To-Live (TTL) values to the destination.
Each router along the path must decrement the TTL on a packet by at least 1 before forwarding it, so the TTL is effectively a hop count.
When the TTL on a packet reaches 0, the router sends back an ICMP Time Exceeded message to the source system.
Tracert determines the route by sending the first echo packet with a TTL of 1, and incrementing the TTL by 1 on each subsequent transmission until the target responds, or the maximum TTL is reached.
Tracert then examines the ICMP Time Exceeded messages sent back by intermediate routers.
