3. Validate the network access by pinging or running a trace route to the server from a command line.
a. If you are unable to get a response during a ping test, attempt to ping another server in the
enclosure to determine whether it is a connection problem or server problem.
b. Run a trace route to determine where the connection breaks down. Attempt to resolve a
connection issue with either the VPN or the point at which the connection breaks down.
4. Restart the server remotely through the management interface.
5. If the problem remains, verify that any new software has been installed and configured correctly.
6. Contact your place of purchase of the software or your software provider.
Server is unresponsive (cannot press F1 to start System Setup)
Configuration changes, such as added devices or adapter firmware updates, and firmware or application
code problems can cause the server to fail POST (the power-on self-test).
If this occurs, the server responds in either of the following ways:
• The server restarts automatically and attempts POST again.
• The server hangs, and you must manually restart the server for the server to attempt POST again.
After a specified number of consecutive attempts (automatic or manual), the server to reverts to the default
UEFI configuration and starts System Setup so that you can make the necessary corrections to the
configuration and restart the server. If the server is unable to successfully complete POST with the default
configuration, there might be a problem with the system board.
You can specify the number of consecutive restart attempts in System Setup. Restart the server and press
the key specified in the on-screen instructions to display the Lenovo XClarity Provisioning Manager system
setup interface. Then, click
