Detecting and Managing Faults
When problems arise during day-to-day operations of the server, you can use these topics to
determine the fault and course of action.
Faults are recorded in a common fault database. The fault is then reported by the server in one
of several ways, depending on the type and severity of the fault.
Step Description Links
1. Check the server for detected faults and for
information about components that might require
service.
“Checking for Faults” on page 25
“Interpreting LEDs” on page 30
2. Perform additional troubleshooting if needed. “Performing Advanced Troubleshooting” on page 34
3. Manage faults following a service procedure. “Clear a Fault Manually” on page 40
4. Contact technical support if the problem persists.
