4. Insert the processor extender board.
NOTE: For this example, the processors were not removed from the processor extender
board first. Also, this example shows the expected results for an rp4440 system with two
processor modules installed. HP recommends having at least one processor module installed
(Module 0), or slightly different Alert Messages can appear.
The system fans come on and stay on when you add the processor extender board and
processors. The
DF
command output appears as follows:

5. If all the installed hardware is functional, the system initiates POST. Go immediately into
the SEL Live Logs or the VFP to ensure that POST is initiated and proceeds without error
to BCH. For the rp4440 server, you do not normally see any POST forward progress messages
on the console unless you are in
SL
live mode.
6. If POST does not start after five to ten seconds, suspect a problem with the processor extender
board or the processors mounted on it. Typical symptoms of this problem are an FRB2 hang
alert appearing in the SEL. Perform the following steps:
a.
Reduce the processors to one module in position 0 and retest.
b. Replace the CPU module or swap the CPU module with one previously removed and
try replacing the processor extender board.
NOTE:
A dipswitch on the processor extender board determines whether it runs Itanium or
PA-RISC code. Be sure to check this switch position if you get an FRB2 hang and have
previously replaced the processor extender board as part of the troubleshooting
procedure.
For the rp4440 server, this switch (switch block S5103 lowest-most switch block when
viewed with extractor handles toward you) must be set to the right (PA-RISC).
This switch position setting is normally physically stamped on the sheet metal cover
for convenience.
7. If you get any other error at this point, re-examine the SEL events and see if they point to
the root cause. If the SEL logs do not assist in pointing to the root cause, HP recommends
that you get the assistance of a systems expert.
