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 the necessary safety procedures.
If you cannot resolve your system problems with the resources described in this guide, you can also refer to the Troubleshooting Reference Guide (NN44200-700).
Note: Nortel continually updates the Troubleshooting Guide. It is available from the Partner Information Center (PIC) at
w
ww.nortel.com/pic.
For information about restarting, shutting down, and powering up the CallPilot server, see the Installation and Configuration Task List (NN44200-306). You can be asked to perform one or more of these tasks while maintaining your server.
Your CallPilot server comes 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.
Note: If you load the firmware on the server, both power supplies and hard drives must be connected and the hard drives must be online. If a failure occurs on any of these components it is not reported by the server LEDs or by ISM.
Replacement parts
Before replacing any parts on your server, refer to the Nortel product catalog for the part codes.
CAUTION
Risk of system damage
The use of parts that are not supplied by Nortel can cause serious system problems or void your Nortel warranty.

To run the startup test
Step Action 1
Ensure the system is powered down and the AC cords are disconnected. Wait 5 seconds before applying power again.
2
Apply AC power to the server by plugging in the first AC cord then the second AC cord. Observe the front panel display.
1005r front panel.
Result: All the alarm LEDs on the front panel illuminate for a fraction
of a second.
Note 1: The back panel LEDs on each power supply start blinking green when AC power is applied and turn solid green after a few seconds. When AC power is removed from one power supply, the LED turn amber. If there is a hardware problem with the supply or it is not functioning properly, the power supply LED is red.
Note 2: Refer to "Front control panel and features" (page 11) for details of the front panel.

Check that all the alarm LEDs (C to F) are illuminated amber for a few seconds. If not, refer to the following table for functional descriptions of fault LEDs.
Alarm fault LEDs
LED Functional description
CRT A critical system fault is an error or event with a fatal system
impact. The system cannot continue to operate.
MJR A major system fault is an error or event with a discernible
impact on system operation. The system can continue to operate but with reduced performance or features.
MNR A minor system fault is an error or event with little impact on
system operation. The system continues to operate.
PWR Apower supply fault indicates that one of the power supplies
is not providing power. The MJR LED is also lit.
4
Boot the server by pressing the power button on the front of the CallPilot 1005r server.
5
Observe the following server actions:
The hard drives (R and T) spin up, and the amber hard drive activity LEDs on the front panel display (HDD0 and HDD1) extinguish, and then flash with activity.
The DVD combo LED illuminates temporarily as the system checks the DVD combo drive (N).
6
Check the monitor for any error messages as the server counts RAM and completes a POST.
For more information about POST, see "Power-On Self-Test
diagnostics" (page 19).
—End—
Power-On Self-Test diagnostics
The Power-On Self-Test (POST) is a system diagnostic program (stored in the BIOS (Basic Input/Output)) that runs each time the 1005r server starts. The function of the POST is to test system components and display status messages.

To run the POST
Step Action 1
Power up the CallPilot server and monitor. Result: After a few seconds, the POST begins to run. After the memory test, various screen prompts and messages
appear. The screen prompts can be accompanied by a single beep.
2
Observe the screen for any error messages and listen for POST beep codes. When the POST is complete, the server beeps once.
If the server halts before the POST is finished, the server emits a beep code indicating that a fatal system error requires immediate attention. For more information, see "Interpreting POST diagnostics"
(page 20).
If the 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, the 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.
ATTENTION
If your system emits POST beep codes, record the beep code sequence and then call Nortel technical support before attempting to correct the problem. Ensure you have the required system information. Some POST beep codes are fatal and can require that you replace the server.

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 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.
Tracert syntax
The tracert command uses the following syntax:

Understanding fault management
Fault management is a subsystem within CallPilot that detects and notifies you of potential or real hardware problems with the multimedia hardware. CallPilot monitors events in the multimedia hardware and raises an alarm when a fault occurs.
Event processing
An event is any change in system configuration or operational state. An event is also any action taken by the system that requires user notification such as a faulty MPB96 card switching to disabled status.

Page 44
44 Chapter 6 Monitoring multimedia hardware
All events are reported to the fault management server. The fault management server lets the CallPilot server listen and respond to its clients. The interaction is called event processing and the server detects hardware faults in the multimedia hardware.
Alarm notification
Alarms are warnings generated by events. Alarms communicate the same information as events. However, alarms are reported in the Alarm Monitor instead of the Event Browser and are managed differently than events.
When an alarm appears in the Alarm Monitor, you must investigate the problem, isolate it, and then fix the cause of the problem. When you fix the problem, the alarm is cleared from the Alarm Monitor.
Component dependencies
The status of some components is dependent on the operational status of other components. If a component fails or is stopped, the dependent components go out of service.
Note: The components in your system are based on your CallPilot server type and switch type. Disregard dependencies for components not in your system.
Component
Dependent components
Media bus All MPBs, all multimedia channels, and all call channels. MPB board All multimedia and call channels associated with the MPB
board.
Time switch All multimedia and call channels associated with the same
MPB as the time switch. MPB96 All multimedia channels on the MPB96 card. DS30X All DS30X channels associated with the DS30X link.
Detecting hardware problems
Typically, you first become aware of a hardware problem when an alarm is raised. All hardware faults produce an alarm (or series of alarms, depending on the problem) in the Alarm Monitor.
Other indications of a hardware problem include the following:
user complaints
call processing difficulties, such as busy signals, static, dropped calls, connection problems, and cross talk (hearing other conversations)
system administrator logon difficulties
alert icons on the Maintenance screen

Alarm Monitor
Use the Alarm Monitor to investigate one or more raised alarms.
About alarms
Alarms are warnings generated by events. Alarms communicate the same information as events. However, alarms are reported in the Alarm Monitor instead of the Event Browser and are managed differently than events:
Alarms appear in the Alarm Monitor for Minor, Major, and Critical events (not Information events). All events can be reportedin the Event Browser (depending on the filtering criteria defined in the Event Browser).
The first time an event occurs, it generates an alarm that appears in the Alarm Monitor. If the same event continues to occur, a new alarm is not generated. Instead, the time and date assigned to the original generated alarm is updated.
Alarms can be cleared from the Alarm Monitor, but the event that generated the alarm is not cleared from the event log or the Event Browser.
Each alarm in the Alarm Monitor has Help text that often provides a solution to the problem. If the solution is not apparent, use the Event Browser or the Maintenance screen to further investigate the problem.
To investigate using the Alarm Monitor
Step Action 1
Run CallPilot Manager and log on.

Event Browser
Use the Event Browser to investigate a series of events that occurred around the time an alarm was raised. The event listing can help you determine the root cause of a problem.
About events
The Event Browser displays events that are recorded in the server log. Each event identifies the time the event occurred, the object that generated the event, and the cause of the event.
Events are classified as Information, Minor, Major, or Critical. By default, the Event Browser displays the latest 100 critical events.

Channel and Multimedia Monitors
The Channel Monitor shows the status of call channels. The call channels are the connections between the server and the switch that carry the call signals to CallPilot.
The Multimedia Monitor shows the status of multimedia channels. The multimedia channels are the DSP ports that process the calls. They are the voice, fax, and speech recognition channels.
Disabling call channels
If you must take the CallPilot system out of service to perform software or hardware maintenance, Nortel recommends that you disable all call channels first. There are two ways to disable the call channels:
Courtesy stop the channels (preferred method). When you courtesy stop call channels, CallPilot waits until the channels
are no longer active before disabling them, instead of suddenly terminating active calls.
Stop the channels. When you stop channels, you suddenly disable them and terminate
all active calls.
The Maintenance screen
Use the Maintenance screen in CallPilot Manager to do the following:
Obtain general information about components.
View component states.
Start and stop components.
Run integrated diagnostic tests.
View the results of the last diagnostic test run against a component.
What the Maintenance screen provides
The Maintenance screen identifies the server platform and switch connectivity type. It also provides a navigation tree that, when expanded, lists the physical and logical hardware components down the left side of the screen. To list the server hardware components, click the plus sign (+) at the top of the tree. To list the subcomponents for each component, click the plus sign (+) beside the component.
Note: The components that are listed on the Maintenance screen are based on the CallPilot server type and the switch that is connected to CallPilot. The examples in this chapter are for illustration purposes and may not appear exactly the same as your system.

Starting and stopping components 53
Starting and stopping components
When you stop a component, you take it out of service and prevent it from operating. You must stop a component before you can replace it (if the component is replaceable) or run a diagnostic test on it.
To bring an out-of-service component back into service, you must start it. Start and stop components from the Maintenance section on the
Maintenance screen.
ATTENTION
Nortel recommends that, if possible, you courtesy stop a component. Courtesy stop is available at the individual channel level.
To courtesy stop CallPilot, use the following:
Multimedia Monitor - to courtesy stop a range of multimedia channels
Channel Monitor - to courtesy stop a range of call (DS30X, also known as DS0) channels
Stop versus courtesy stop
The following two methods of taking a component out of service allow you to choose how active calls are affected.
Courtesy stop
A courtesy stop takes the component out of service after the component finishes processing the active calls.
If the component is currently processing a call, the call is not dropped; the component remains active until the call is finished.
If the component is not currently in use, it is taken out of service immediately.
Courtesy stop is the preferred method for taking a component out of service.
Stop
A stop takes the component out of service immediately, regardless of whether the component is currently processing calls. All active calls are dropped. Typically, you perform a stop only when severe problems that are affecting a large number of incoming calls occur or if your organization determines a special need for it.
Components that you can start and stop
Only the following components can start and stop.

Diagnostic tests available for each component
The diagnostic tests that are available for each component are listed in the Diagnostic section of the Maintenance screen. To view the list of diagnostic tests for a particular component, click the component in the component tree.
If a diagnostic test fails or cannot be run
If a warning message appears, you cannot run the diagnostic test because a prerequisite condition has not been met. If a diagnostic test fails, a message appears in a new browser window.
In both cases, check the Alarm Monitor to determine the reason and the appropriate action to take.
If the Alarm Monitor and Event Browser do not provide a solution to a hardware problem, you may need to replace or service a component. If the problem is with a component that is not replaceable because it is not a physical entity (such as the Time Switch), you must either replace its parent component or contact your Nortel technical support representative, depending on the component.

The power supplies are hot-swappable and you can replace each power supply without powering down the server.
ATTENTION
Do not remove both power supplies while the system is running. Shut down the multimedia channels by using the Courtesy Stop in CallPilot Manager. Shut down the server using the Windows Shut Down option, and unplug the power supplies before removing both power supplies at the same time.
When to hot-swap the power supply
A green LED on the power supply indicates that the power supply is working properly. If the green LED on the power supply module is unlit or red, the module is failing or has failed. If the PWR alarm LED on the front panel is red, this also indicates a problem with one of the power supplies.
Note: A power supply will not be used by the system if it is not installed when the firmware is updated.

Replacing the dual NIC card
Your server has three low-profile PCI add-in cards. The RAID card is in slot 1 and the two dual NIC cards are in slots 2 and 3 (counting from top to bottom). The two dual NIC cards are reserved for future use.
CAUTION
Risk of electrical damage
Wear an antistatic ESD wrist strap when handling cards or boards, or when working inside the server.
Do not touch the components or gold-edge connectors of the cards.
Place the card on an antistatic surface until you are ready to install it.
PCI add-in cards are not hot-swappable and you must power down the system before adding or replacing the cards.
CAUTION
Risk of physical equipment damage
Remove the 1005r from the rack, and place it on a solid surface when replacing or adding cards. The PCI riser assembly requires considerable force when inserting it into the connector, and physical damage can result if the assembly is not properly aligned.
Placing the server on a solid surface such as a workbench gives you a better view of the card alignment, and lets you exert the necessary force when inserting the assembly into the connector.

Outlining RAID functions
Redundant Array of Independent Disks (RAID) is a technology that can combine two or more drives for fault tolerance and continuous service. The CallPilot RAID controller is a PCI RAID SCSI card that provides high-performance disk mirroring with RAID Level 1.
With Level 1 mirroring, two equal-capacity disk drives mirror one another. One disk drive serves as the backup copy of the other disk drive. If one disk drive fails, the other continues to run.
RAID configuring and splitting
Working with RAID involves the following:
verifying the RAID firmware version
upgrading or downgrading the RAID firmware
configuring RAID using the LSI320-1 controller and the Ctrl+M menu at server bootup
ensuring that your system is working and the RAID hardware is properly configured

Configuring RAID using LSI320-1 controller and Ctrl+M
The configuration of the RAID card is stored on both the card and the hard drive. Typically you are not required to reconfigure RAID unless you are making a change to the RAID system (for example, if you replace the hard drives with higher capacity hard drives).
CAUTION
Risk of data loss
This procedure requires that the logical drive be initialized. When you initialize the logical drive, all data on the hard drives is erased.
Do not perform this procedure unless you are replacing the hard drives or you are rebuilding the CallPilot system (that is, reinstalling the Windows operating system and CallPilot software).
