troubleshooting procedures in this documentation and on the World Wide Web.
This Problem Determination and Service Guide describes the diagnostic tests that you
can perform, troubleshooting procedures, and explanations of error messages and
error codes. The documentation that comes with your operating system and
software also contains troubleshooting information.
Diagnosing a problem
Before you contact IBM or an approved warranty service provider, follow these
procedures in the order in which they are presented to diagnose a problem with
your server.
1. Return the server to the condition it was in before the problem occurred. If
any hardware, software, or firmware was changed before the problem occurred,
if possible, reverse those changes. This might include any of the following
items:
v
Hardware components
v Device drivers and firmware
v
System software
v UEFI firmware
v
System input power or network connections
2. View the light path diagnostics LEDs and event logs.
The server is designed
for ease of diagnosis of hardware and software problems.
v
Light path diagnostics LEDs: See Light path diagnostics for information
about using light path diagnostics LEDs.
v
Event logs: See “Event logs” on page 148 for information about notification
events and diagnosis.
v Software or operating-system error codes: See the documentation for the
software or operating system for information about a specific error code. See
the manufacturer's website for documentation.
3. Run IBM Dynamic System Analysis (DSA) and collect system data. Run
Dynamic System Analysis (DSA) to collect information about the hardware,
firmware, software, and operating system. Have this information available
when you contact IBM or an approved warranty service provider. For
instructions for running DSA, see the
Dynamic System Analysis Installation and
User's Guide .
