Diagnostic
tools
overview
The
following
tools
are
available
to
help
you
diagnose
and
solve
hardware-related
problems:
v
POST
firmware
checkpoints
(progress
codes)
The
power-on
self-test
(POST),
or
firmware
checkpoints,
tests
the
major
components
of
the
blade
server.
These
firmware
checkpoints
(progress
codes)
indicate
the
detection
of
a
problem
if
the
server
stops
on
a
checkpoint
during
the
startup
process.
–
A
four-digit
code
indicates
successful
completion
of
that
portion
of
POST
when
the
server
does
not
stop
on
that
checkpoint.
–
A
result
other
than
a
four-digit
code
indicates
that
POST
might
have
detected
a
problem.
Error
messages
also
appear
during
startup
if
POST
detects
a
hardware-configuration
problem.
The
last
POST
firmware
checkpoint
code
posted
is
the
most
likely
failure
indicator.
See
“POST”
on
page
40
for
more
information.
v
Error
symptom
charts
These
charts
list
problem
symptoms
and
steps
to
correct
the
problems.
See
“Error
symptoms”
on
page
145
for
more
information.
v
Light
path
diagnostics
Use
the
light
path
diagnostics
feature
to
diagnose
system
errors
quickly.
See
“Light
path
diagnostics”
on
page
46
for
more
information.
