If an action step is preceded by “(Trained service technician only),” that step
must be performed only by a trained service technician.
Symptom
Action
Testing
the
monitor.
1. Make sure that the monitor cables are firmly connected.
2. In a two-node configuration, make sure that the monitor is
connected to the primary server.
3. Try using a different monitor on the server, or try testing the
monitor on a different server.
4. If the monitor passes the diagnostic programs, the problem might be
a video device driver.
5. Replace the I/O-board shuttle.
The
screen
is
blank.
1. If the server is attached to a KVM switch, bypass the KVM switch to
eliminate it as a possible cause of the problem: connect the monitor
cable directly to the correct connector on the rear of the server.
2. Make sure that:
The server is turned on. If there is no power to the server, see
“Power problems”.
The monitor cables are connected correctly.
The monitor is turned on and the brightness and contrast controls
are adjusted correctly.
3. Make sure that the correct server is controlling the monitor, if
applicable.
4. Make sure that damaged server firmware is not affecting the video;
see “Recovering the server firmware” for information about recovering
from server firmware failure.
5. Observe the checkpoint code display on the light path diagnostics
panel; if the codes are changing, go to the next step.
6. Replace the following components one at a time, in the order shown,
restarting the server each time:
a. Monitor
b. Video adapter (if one is installed)
c. Replace the I/O-board shuttle.
7. See “Solving undetermined problems” for information about solving
undetermined problems.
