Service notifications

To view the latest service notifications, refer to the HP website (

http://www.hp.com/go/bizsupport

). Select

the appropriate server model, and then click the Troubleshoot a Problem link on the product page.

Server health LEDs

Some servers have an internal health LED and an external health LED, while other servers have a single

system health LED. The system health LED provides the same functionality as the two separate internal and
external health LEDs. Depending on the model, the internal health LED and external health LED may either

appear solid or they may flash. Both conditions represent the same symptom.
For the location of server LEDs and information on their statuses, see the server documentation on the HP

website (

http://www.hp.com/support

).

Troubleshooting flowcharts

To effectively troubleshoot a problem, HP recommends that you start with the first flowchart in this section,

"Start diagnosis flowchart (on page

80

)," 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

81

)." 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:
