Chapter 7: Troubleshooting and Support
•
Use the minimum configuration for troubleshooting: Remove all unnecessary components
(starting with add-on cards first), and use the minimum configuration (but with a CPU and
a memory module installed) to identify the trouble areas.
•
Identify a bad component by isolating it. Check and change one component at a time.
•
Remove a component in question from the chassis, and test it in isolation. Replace it
if necessary.
•
Or swap in a new component for the suspect one.
•
Or install the possibly defective component into a known good system. If the new system
works, the component is likely not the cause or the problem.
