Preparing the server for diagnosis

Procedure

Be sure the server is in the proper operating environment with adequate power, air conditioning, and
humidity control.

For required environmental conditions, see the server user guide on the Hewlett Packard Enterprise
website (

http://www.hpe.com/info/proliantgen10-docs

Record any error messages displayed by the system.

Remove all CDs, DVD-ROMs, USB drive keys, or SD cards that are not bootable devices.

Collect all tools and utilities necessary to troubleshoot the issue. Items you may need include a Torx
screwdriver, loopback adapters, ESD wriststrap, and software utilities.

• You must have the appropriate support software installed on the server.

• Hewlett Packard Enterprise recommends that you have access to the server documentation for

server-specific information.

Determine if the server will be diagnosed offline or online:

• If you will diagnose the server online, complete steps 6 and 8.

• If you will diagnose the server offline, complete steps 7 and 8.

To diagnose the server online, review and collect the following information:

Obtain a record of all current ROM settings by running CONREP from Scripting Toolkit for Windows
and Linux.

Review the IML.

Review the iLO information on both the

Overview

and the

System Information

pages.

Review the

Diagnostics

page.

If the OS is operating and the System Management Homepage is installed, then review the
operational status from the System Management Homepage.

Download the Active Health System Log.

For more information, see the Active Health System Viewer documentation on the Hewlett Packard
Enterprise website (

http://www.hpe.com/support/ahsv-docs

Record survey data.

To diagnose the server offline, power down the server and peripheral devices. If possible, always
perform an orderly shutdown:
