Check any interlock or interconnect LEDs that may indicate a component is
not connected properly.

If problems continue to occur, remove and reinstall each device, checking the
connectors and sockets for bent pins or other damage.

Diagnostic steps

To effectively troubleshoot a problem, HP recommends that you start with the
first flowchart in this section, "Start diagnosis flowchart (on page

86

)," and

follow the appropriate diagnostic path. If the other flowcharts do not provide a
troubleshooting solution, follow the diagnostic steps in "General diagnosis
flowchart (on page

89

)." The general diagnosis flowchart is a generic

troubleshooting process to be used when the problem is not server-specific or is
not easily categorized into the other flowcharts.

The available flowcharts include:
