Appendix B: Troubleshooting
This chapter helps you identify and solve problems that might occur while you are using
the system.
For any issue, first ensure you are using the latest firmware and files. Firmware upgrades
include updates for the BIOS, Baseboard Management Controller (BMC), and hot-swap
controller (HSC). See “Server System References” on page x for a link to the software
updates. In addition to the server firmware and files, also update any drivers used for
components you installed in your system, such as video drivers, network drivers, and
SATA drivers.
Intel provides a package called the “Platform Confidence Test” that may help with your
diagnostics. See “Server System References” on page x for a link to this software.
If you cannot resolve your server problems on your own, see “Getting Help” on page 171
for assistance.
