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 BIOS, the Baseboard Management Controller (BMC), and the hot-
swap controller (HSC). In addition to the server firmware and files, also update any
drivers used for components you have installed in your system, such as video drivers,
network drivers, and SATA drivers. See the SGI Altix XE Platform Upgrade CD for
information about the latest firmware, drivers, etc.
If you are unable to resolve your server problems on your own, see
“Product Support”
for
assistance.
