Powering-Up the HP NetServer

NOTE Turn on power to the monitor connected to the E 800 before you power-on the E
800. This allows proper auto-configuration of video output of the E 800 as it boots
up.

1. Ensure the HP NetServer's power cord is connected to the power source.

2. Press the Power button on the front control panel.

When you press the power button on the control panel, the NetServer powers up and loads the operating
system. The NetServer runs a set of Power On Self-Tests (POST) during this process. For details refer to
Chapter 4, "Diagnostics."

Powering-Down the HP NetServer

1. Log off all users and if necessary, back-up files.

◊ Schedule the power down for a time when the fewest users will be affected by the NetServer's
downtime.
◊ If you will be doing any kind of hardware or software upgrade, be sure your NetServer's data
has been backed up.

◊ Follow instructions in your network operating system (NOS) documentation to gracefully shut
down all networking software and applications.
2. Press the power switch on the HP NetServer's control panel when prompted by the operating
system.
Normally this completes the power down procedure.

NOTE The power supply will continue to provide standby current to the NetServer until the
power cable is disconnected from the rear panel.

Multiple-Server Configurations
The HP NetServer temporarily draws a large "inrush current," when first connected to an AC power source.
This also occurs when the NetServer is in a standby mode (power is turned off and the power cord is
plugged into AC power). The inrush current is much greater than the NetServer's normal operating current
and generally, the AC power source can handle the normal inrush current.

However, if you install several HP NetServers on one circuit, precautions are necessary. If there is a power
failure and power is then restored, all the servers immediately begin to draw inrush current at the same time.
If the circuit breakers on the incoming power line have insufficient capability, the breaker may trip and thus
prevent the servers from powering up.

When preparing your site for installation, allow for the additional inrush current. See "Power Specifications" in
Chapter 2.

Chapter 1 General Information

Sleep States (ACPI)

The HP NetServer supports the ACPI (Advanced Configuration and Power Interface) standard, which is a
key component of a NOS's directed power management. The supported features are only available when an
ACPI-compliant NOS is installed on the NetServer. The term “sleep state” refers to any of several reduced
power consumption states in which normal NOS activity has ceased.

The NetServer supports several sleep states, including a sleep state with a short wake-up time, sometimes
referred to as “standby” or “suspend” by various operating systems. In this sleep state the NetServer appears
to be off, and is indicated by no display on the monitor and no activity for the CD-ROM or internal hard
drives. However, the power LED is slowly flashing and the fans are operating.

An additional sleep state supported by the NetServer is one with a slower wake-up time, sometimes referred
to as “hibernate” by various operating systems. In this sleep state, the NetServer appears to be off as
mentioned earlier, but the fans and the power LED are also turned off. This sleep state's unique feature (and
the reason for its slower wake-up time) is that the NetServer's state (applications running, screens open,
etc.) just prior to hibernate has been saved to disk and must be restored from disk upon wake-up. However,
this method of restoring the NetServer's operation is much faster than a complete rebooting of the NetServer.
This method still requires running all the start-up self-tests before starting the NOS, but loading the NOS and
all the previously opened applications is much faster.

The NetServer supports certain types of system activity, which are used as wake-up events from sleep
states. These wake-up events can be generated from the power button, LAN activity, and scheduled events.

NOTE The HP NetServer’s power management policies (transitions between various power
states) and the user options are specific to the particular ACPI-compliant NOS
installed on the NetServer. If your respective NOS is ACPI-compliant, refer to the
power management features in the instructions provided for more information.

The HP NetServer’s power button can be configured to initiate a sleep state (Sleep button) or a “soft off” or
graceful shutdown of the NOS, rather than an immediate shutdown of the power supply. The power button
configurations are dependent on the user interface provided by the ACPI-compliant NOS. While power
management is under the control of the ACPI-compliant NOS, the HP NetServer’s power button is capable of
an override in case of a non-responsive NOS.

NOTE The HP NetServer power button will force a power down without waiting for the NOS
to gracefully shut down the NetServer when the power button is pressed and held in
excess of four seconds.

CAUTION If the power button override is used; there is a strong possibility of corrupted or lost
data

2 System Information

Introduction
This chapter provides information on mass storage, connector pin-outs, accessory guidelines and system
specifications.

Mass Storage
The HP NetServer E 800 comes standard with an IDE CD-ROM and a flexible disk drive with some
configuration of SCSI hard disk drives. The internal mass storage cage can hold up to 5 additional SCSI
drives (including a tape back up drive).

Mass Storage Guidelines

• General Guidelines
◊ Use care when unpacking and handling the SCSI disk drives.
The hard disk drives are very susceptible to mechanical shock and can be easily damaged
by a drop as short as one-quarter of an inch. If the drop would crack an egg, it will damage
the drive.
◊ Do not stack drives.
◊ The NetServer is internally limited to 7 mass storage shelves.
The flexible disk drive and CD-ROM drive, which are standard on all models of the HP
NetServer E 800, occupy shelves 1 and 2 respectively.
◊ If a backup tape drive is used it will occupy shelf 3.
◊ Shelves 4, 5, 6, and 7 are available for SCSI hard drives and one is required for the boot
drive.
• IDE Devices
◊ The embedded IDE controller is an Enhanced-IDE dual channel controller and provides two
connectors (IDE-1 and IDE-2) for IDE devices.
◊ The IDE CD-ROM uses only one connector on the cable from the primary channel (IDE-1)
connector.
◊ A secondary IDE connector (IDE-2) is available, but is not supported by Hewlett-Packard.
• SCSI Device Selection
◊ Use only low-voltage differential (LVD) SCSI devices.
◊ Do not use high voltage differential (HVD) SCSI devices on either of the SCSI channels or
damage will occur.
◊ Ensure the SCSI devices you install do not have terminations. The SCSI drives are
connected to a terminated cable and don't require termination on the SCSI drive.
◊ Use only HP LVD SCSI 1-inch low-profile 3.5-inch hard disk drives for the removable hard
disk drive cage.

9
Chapter 2 System Information

◊ The embedded dual-channel Ultra-2 SCSI controller includes connectors for SCSI channels
A and B.
◊ Channel A is typically used for cabling the factory-installed hard disk drive(s), which may
consist of five SCSI drives (including an optional tape drive). The standard SCSI cable has
five, 68-pin, high-density connectors for the SCSI devices and has a terminator on the end of
the cable.
◊ The optional HP supplied tape drive comes with a 50-to-68-pin adapter to connect to the
SCSI connector on the cable used to connect the tape drive.
◊ Channel B may be used in a duplexing arrangement or to control an external mass storage
solution. At least two SCSI hard disk drives are required if the duplexing option is used.
Channel B may also be used to connect the optional tape drive, if the lesser speed of the
tape drive slows down disk access time of the Ultra-2 SCSI drives.
An additional cable kit is required for duplexing, external mass storage solutions, or
connecting the optional tape backup drive.

Boot Priority
The NetServer's boot order should be considered when selecting a PCI slot on the system board. This is
especially important if you are installing a board that requires a lower number in the boot order. The board's
boot priority is set by its slot location in the boot order.

By default the NetServer searches for boot devices in this order:

1. IDE CD-ROM drive
2. Flexible disk drive
3. Embedded SCSI A (typically the SCSI Drives)
4. Embedded SCSI B (typically the external SCSI Devices)
5. PCI slot 1
6. PCI slot 2
7. PCI slot 3
8. PCI slot 4
9. PCI slot 5
10. PCI slot 6
11. PCI slot 7

The embedded SCSI controller consists of two channels, A and B. Channel A is typically used to control the
SCSI hard drives (4) and optional tape back up drive. Channel B is typically used to control the external
SCSI devices. On each SCSI channel, the controller scans for a boot device starting at device ID 0 and
works through the ID numbers. The NetServer's embedded controller is always SCSI ID 7. If an optional
SCSI backup tape drive is used it would take address ID 4.

NOTE The boot order can be changed using the NetServer's (BIOS) Setup Utility and the
SCSI Select Utility.

Ultra-2 SCSI up to 15*** • Optional hardware mirroring of up to two SCSI drives in shelves
Channel B 4, 5, 6, and 7.
• Optional control of up to 15 external SCSI devices

* The primary IDE (IDE-1) cable is connected to the factory-installed CD-ROM drive. A secondary
IDE connector (IDE-2) is available, but is not supported by Hewlett-Packard.
** A 50 to 68 pin SCSI adapter is provided with the HP Tape Drive.
*** Both SCSI channels (A and B) can each support up to 7 devices; however, there are only enough
internal storage shelves for four hard drives and one optional tape backup device, which is
typically connected to Channel A. Channel B is typically used to control external SCSI devices. If
you decide to duplex internal drives using Channel B, you are restricted to the internal drives only.

Duplexing Hard Drives

You may choose to duplex the drives in the HP NetServer's removable hard disk drive cage (only four drives
possible). The NetServer supports an option to duplex the drives using the embedded dual channel SCSI
controllers (SCSI A and B). There must be at least two SCSI drives available in the hard disk drive cage to
duplex the drives. The NetServer also supports HP's NetRAID 1Si PCI Controller board to control the two
duplexed channels.

CAUTION To prevent damage to the embedded SCSI controller, don't use a HVD (High
Voltage Differential) device.

External SCSI Connector

The HP NetServer E 800 can be configured to extend one of its SCSI channels (typically channel B) to an
external SCSI connector. This allows connection of additional mass storage devices to the second channel
of the NetServer’s embedded controller. It requires a second SCSI cable, HP NetServer E 800
Internal/External SCSI Cable Kit (P/N P1774A).

11
Chapter 2 System Information

Memory Guidelines
• The HP NetServer E 800 only uses 133 MHz (PC133) SDRAM DIMMs, which are electrically
different from the EDO and PC100 SDRAM memory modules used in previous HP NetServer
models.
• DIMMs sizes supported are 128 MB, 256 MB, or 512 MB buffered in any combination.
• Supported memory capacity ranges from 128 MB to 2 GB maximum (512 MB per DIMM slot x 4
DIMM slots total). The minimum capacity is 128 MB (one DIMM).
• DIMM sizes may be mixed on the system board and may be loaded in any order (0 through 3).
However, HP recommends starting at slot 0 and filling the slots in order: 0, 1, 2, and 3.
• Empty slots between DIMMs are permitted.
• When handling DIMMs, observe anti-static precautions to avoid damage.

To ensure you have the correct DIMMs before installation, refer to one of the following for a list of qualified
DIMMs:

• HP Order Assistant on the HP web site at:

http://www.hp.com/go/netserver
• HP Customer Service
Four MB of video memory is provided on the system board and cannot be upgraded.

Accessory Board Guidelines

The system board in the HP NetServer E 800 provides up to seven PCI slots (P1 through P7), five 32-bits
lots and two 64-bit slots.

Tested PCI Boards

For a list of tested PCI boards, check for compatibility under the Hardware Tested Products list for the HP
NetServer E 800 under the Service and Support topic for the specific NOS used in the NetServer at HP’s
web site:

http://netserver.hp.com/netserver/support/compatibility/compatibility.asp

CAUTION Some accessory board outputs may exceed U.S. National Electrical code (NFPA
70) Class 2 or limited power source limits and must use appropriate inter-connecting
cabling in accordance with the National Electrical Code. (All HP boards comply with
Class 2.)

IRQ Settings
The IRQ settings are automatically assigned and don't require user intervention. The HP NetServer uses the
Plug-and-Play feature of the PCI boards to correctly assign its resources automatically.

12
Chapter 2 System Information

Using the Primary or Secondary PCI Bus

The E 800 has a Primary PCI bus and Secondary PCI bus supporting seven PCI accessory slots. The two
busses are peer to peer which provides approximately equal performance except when using the two 64-bit
slots versus the 32-bit slots.

PCI Slots PCI Bus

Slots 1 through 4 Primary PCI Bus

Slots 5 through 7 Secondary PCI Bus

4 Diagnostics

Diagnostic Tests
When the server boots, a series of tests are displayed on the screen. The number of tests displayed
depends on the configuration of the server. The following are the kinds of errors a user might get with the HP
NetServer.

• Built-in diagnostic Error Messages.

• BIOS and other error messages. These are errors detected by the system BIOS outside the
built-in diagnostics or application errors.
To see the Power On Self-Tests (POST):

• The HP NetServer must be functionally able to run the diagnostics.

• The video subsystem must be functional.
• The keyboard must be functional.

NOTE BIOS ROM version number is displayed on the monitor screen during power-up.

Diagnostics Description

The diagnostics (Power-On Self-Test "POST") run automatically each time the NetServer is powered on.
These diagnostics, which reside in the BIOS ROM, isolate server-related logic failures and indicate the board
or component that needs to be replaced, as indicated by the Error Messages. Most NetServer hardware
failures will be accurately isolated by the diagnostic

WARNING You should always turn off the power and disconnect the power cord to the
NetServer before attempting to remove the cover and touch the internal
components. Failing to do so can expose you to electric shock and the server's
components to damage. The power switch does NOT turn off standby power, so
disconnect the power cord to turn off standby power.

HP NetServer DiagTools
The purpose of hardware diagnostic software is to provide tools for checking hardware problems. By design,
diagnostic software executes simple tests of each hardware component. Usually, such tests assure that
hardware is not the source of NetServer problems. This allows the user to eliminate hardware as the cause
of the problem and to focus on operating system configuration parameters, network connections, and
application software configuration parameters as the source of the problem.

If hardware problems are confirmed, the diagnostic software program can sometimes detect and diagnose
the subsystem or specific NetServer component causing of the problem. In addition, diagnostic tools can
capture information that allows support personnel to quickly assess the condition of the NetServer.

29
Chapter 4 Diagnostics

In order to be effective, diagnostic software tools must be used in the context of a wider troubleshooting
procedure.

DiagTools Capabilities
DiagTools for HP NetServers is a set of off-line diagnostic tests, including tests for system and processor
components, memory and storage elements, ports, and input/output devices. DiagTools is supplied on the
HP StartUp CD-ROM.

The user prepares DiagTools software for use by transferring it to diskette. Then the DiagTools diskette is
used to boot the server. A basic suite of tools checks key NetServer components, and a menu of advanced
tests is available for in-depth testing.

DiagTools has the ability to test the following components:

l system board l processors

l memory modules l hard disk drives
l flexible disk drives l keyboards
l parallel ports l CD-ROM drives
l video monitor

DiagTools is an off-line diagnostic. Off-line diagnostics do not use the main operating system (OS) of the HP
NetServer. The alternate DiagTools OS has far fewer features than the full-fledged OS. Thus, its capabilities
are limited to a set of basic tests and a series of advanced tests. In addition, DiagTools does not use any
tests, which might write over and thus destroy user data. Tests that require user inputs or decisions are left
to the advanced series of tests.

You can use DiagTools to perform the tasks listed below:

• display a high-level inventory of the NetServer under test

• save and print a detailed inventory of hardware components
• conduct a basic test of components listed in the NetServer inventory
• display “PASSED” or “FAILED” overall results of basic tests
• record detailed test results of basic NetServer tests
• display a menu of advanced tests
• select and run one or a series of advanced tests
• add the record of results of advanced tests to the record of basic tests
• view a list to locate the meaning of a specific error code
• view one or more steps to help confirm and isolate error conditions
• browse the Support Ticket, which contains the detailed inventories and test results
• add comments to the Support Ticket

30
Chapter 4 Diagnostics

About Error Messages

A hexadecimal number designates each error message reported by DiagTools; a short note on the type of
error; and a list of one or more steps the user can take in response. When you run a test, it exercises many
aspects of the hardware, so the number of possible error messages exceeds 300. Most of these are
encountered rarely, if ever.

Error codes can be viewed on line from the DiagTools User menu within the advanced series of tests, or you
can refer to Chapter 3 of the HP NetServer DiagTools Error Reference and User Guide.

Advantages and Limitations of Hardware Diagnostics

Off-line diagnostic software is useful in making sure that hardware has been eliminated as the cause for
possible NetServer problems. Such diagnostic tools can easily be shipped with a server, and they are
relatively easy to use.

Only experienced personnel knowledgeable of its limitations should use off-line diagnostic software.

Some limitations are:

• booting the NetServer from the diagnostics diskette

• no access to operating system error logs, since the OS is not operating at the same time as the
diagnostic tools
• limited ability to test only a single component at a time
• inability to indicate problems with wrongly configured NetServers or the network

Power-On Self Test (POST) Error Messages:

Error messages (POST Codes) are encountered if an error condition occurs during the boot process of the
HP NetServer E 800. All codes and their respective descriptions are listed in the following table, and all the
codes may not apply to your NetServer.

These codes will appear on the display monitor, provided it and the supporting circuitry are functioning:

General NetServer Problems

No lights are on and no error message appears

If the NetServer does not work (no lights are on, including backlighting on models with LCDs) and no error
message appears, check the following:
1. Verify that power is good and available
2. Make sure that the NetServer is turned on (the power-on light should be green and the fans
should be on).
3. Turn the NetServer off and unplug the power cords. Wait 30 seconds and plug the power cords
in and turn the NetServer on. Verify the failure.
4. Verify all boards are installed properly and seated firmly in the slots with cables firmly
connected.
5. If the NetServer stopped working after you installed a new accessory, remove the accessory
and turn on the server. If the NetServer now works, go to step 8.
6. If the NetServer still does not work, remove all accessory that you have installed (do not remove
the flexible or hard disk drives) and turn on the server.
7. If the NetServer now works, turn off the NetServer; add one accessory at a time to determine
which one is causing the problem. Turn on the NetServer after installing each board or option.
When the problem returns, the last board or option installed is defective.

48
Chapter 5 Troubleshooting

8. If you have added any memory, make sure that the modules are seated properly on the
processor board.

The application or operating system is not responding properly

1. In NetServer models with accessible cache feature, determine if the memory cache feature is
turned on or off.
Memory cache may need to be turned off for some older software. It may also need to be turned
off for those accessory boards that have on-board firmware, and for those boards that use
memory-mapped I/O.
2. If necessary, turn off the memory cache feature. Check the state of memory cache and, if
necessary, disable it:
a. Push F2 during the boot process
b. Go to configuration and turn off Memory Caching

The NetServer stops working (hangs)

Typically, if the NetServer hangs before the end of the POST completes, the problem is probably a hardware
failure. If the NetServer hangs after the POST completes, the problem is probably due to an incorrectly
configured or corrupt driver, operating system, or application program, or a media (disk drive) error.

If the NetServer stops working, try the following:

1. Review the Troubleshooting Checklist before you continue.
2. Turn the NetServer off and unplug the power cords. Wait 30 seconds and plug the power cords
in and turn it on. Verify the failure.
3. If the problem persists, replace the system board.
4. Once a problem has been found with a part, verify that it is the problem (or the only problem) by
reinstalling the part and replicating the error.

The NetServer does not start (boot)

Locate the memory modules (SIMMs/DIMMs).

NOTE The POST error messages reflect which modules are defective and should be
replaced.

1. Review the Troubleshooting Checklist before you continue.

2. Power the NetServer off and on (rather than using Ctrl-Alt-Del) as it is a more complete system
reset.
3. On NetServers with diagnostic LEDs near the DIMM sockets, note any blink codes.
4. If the POST reports a problem, check the error against the Error Messages and correct the
problem.
5. Verify the video subsystem is configured correctly.
6. Verify the memory DIMMs are all of the same (specified) speed.
7. Verify the memory DIMMs are installed and configured correctly:
a. Make sure only HP-supported DIMMs are used.

49
Chapter 5 Troubleshooting

b. Remove the system board, install a known good memory module, and reboot. If you still
receive an error, replace the system board.
If the error goes away, add another module and reboot again. Continue this process until you
have installed all memory modules or you experience a failure. Replace the defective
module(s).
8. Remove one accessory board at a time and reboot the NetServer. Verify the problem.
9. Once a suspect part has been found, verify that it is the problem by reinstalling the part and
duplicating the error.

Power Problems
Symptoms:

• A fan is not working

• The power LED does not light
1. Review the Troubleshooting Checklist before you continue.
2. Verify the AC power source is good:
a. If the NetServer fans are audible or a control panel light is on, the power is on.
b. Verify the circuit breaker for the AC power outlet.
c. If the breaker was off, check that all devices connected the NetServer share the same circuit
breaker and are the only devices on it. Reset the circuit breaker after reconfiguring the
devices, if need be.
d. Verify the AC power outlet is not faulty. Test it by plugging in a known-good device.
e. Verify the third-wire ground is isolated from other grounds and is at ground potential.
3. Verify all cable connections:

◊ AC power cords from AC source outlet to server

◊ DC Power supply cables to all NetServer PCBs
◊ DC power supply cables to disk drives and/or mass storage cages

4. If the fans aren't audible and the above steps are verified, check that power is getting to all fans.
HP NetServers have multiple fans. All fans run when power is turned on; all are off when the
power is off.

With the power supply connected to the system board, check the power supply's voltages.

5. If voltages are not present:

a. Turn off AC power.
b. Disconnect the power cords for 5 minutes in order to reset the power supply's circuitry.
Turn on AC power again. If power is still not getting to the system board, replace the power
supply (or power supply module on some NetServer models).
6. If power is getting to the fan but the fan isn't working, replace the fan (or replace the power
supply in NetServer models with fans incorporated in the power supply).
7. If the problem continues, replace the power supply module.

50
Chapter 5 Troubleshooting

8. If, after replacing the power supply, the problem persists:

a. Remove all accessory boards, including any hard disk drive controller board or the video
board the customer might have installed, and reboot the NetServer.
b. Disconnect all mass storage power cords and cables (except those to the boot device) and
reboot the NetServer.
9. If the problem goes away, reinstall the original suspected part to verify that it is causing the
problem.

Video/Monitor Problems
Symptoms:

• Nothing is displayed on the monitor.

• The monitor is blank.

• Colors are wrong or there are no colors on the monitor.
If you installed a video board and are not using the built-in video system, go to Step 12.

If you have two video monitors connected, test the monitors to make sure they are working (Step 1-4) then
go to Step 10.
1. Review the Troubleshooting Checklist before you continue.
2. Check the contrast and brightness controls to ensure each is adjusted.
3. Verify the video and power cords are connected to the monitor.
4. Ensure there is adequate power:
a. Verify the display power switch is turned on.
b. Verify the display power cord is connected to an AC power outlet and the video cable
connected to the server's video connector.
c. Plug in a known working device to ensure there is power to the outlet or use the proper
testing device to check the power outlet.
d. Turn the monitor off and on, and if the monitor has an on/off LED, see if it lights.
e. Turn the Clear Configuration switch on the system board to OFF and reboot the NetServer.
Check if the problem persists.
5. Turn on the NetServer and wait a full 2 minutes. Verify the monitor starts displaying normally.
6. If the problem persists, and if the power cord is detachable, try a known good power cord.
7. Unplug the power cord and wait 30 seconds. Plug in the power cord and turn on the NetServer.
Wait a full 2 minutes. Check that the monitor starts displaying normally.
8. Check the monitor display to see if the system memory count takes place correctly.
a. Turn the NetServer off and then on. Check to see if the memory is counted during the
NetServer boot. If no count occurs, go to Step 10.
b. Check to see if the count occurs in the color appropriate for the monitor.
If the count occurs in the wrong color, the problem may be with the video subsystem, the
monitor, or the monitor cable. (Continue with the troubleshooting steps.)

Chapter 5 Troubleshooting

9. If you are using a video screen saver utility and the screen goes blank while using the keyboard,
you may be using an application that turns off the screen even when you are using the
keyboard. Refer to the manual that came with the screen saver utility.
10. Ensure the memory modules (DIMMs) are correctly seated in their slots. You may want to
remove and reinstall each memory module to ensure it does not cause the problem. Verify the
correct type, size, and combinations of modules for this model NetServer are installed.
11. To see if the display is functioning:
a. Turn off the monitor and the server.
b. Disconnect the video cable from the video connector.
c. Turn on the monitor.
Monitor Notes:

◊ When most EGA and VGA monitors are disconnected from the video connector, if the
monitor is working, the screen is white.
◊ When some monitors (such as HP high-resolution monitors) are disconnected from the video
connector, the monitor may be working, although the screen is black.
◊ If the display is black or white when it should be in color, check the monitor cable to see if a
pin is bent. If a pin is bent, slowly but carefully straighten the pin. Replace the cable if the pin
cannot be straightened successfully.
◊ If a monitor tester is available, use it to check the display.
◊ If you suspect the monitor is faulty, replace it with a known good monitor. Then reinstall the
original monitor and duplicate the error.
12. Verify the monitor is working by plugging it into a know-good NetServer or computer.
13. Check to see if the monitor connector's pins are bent. If the pins are bent, slowly but carefully
straighten each pin.
14. Connect the monitor cable to the NetServer video connector and turn on the NetServer. If there
is a display, but characters are the wrong size or the display is the wrong color:
a. Check whether the monitor is a color or monochrome monitor.
b. Verify the video cable is properly inserted in the connector on the back of the computer.
c. Check for bent pins on the connectors.
15. If the customer has installed a video board instead of using the built-in video, make sure all
jumpers and switches are set properly on the installed video board. (See the manual for the
video board.)
16. If the monitor displays a badly scrambled image that looks to be the current screen image, then
the monitor is not synchronizing correctly.

◊ If a video board is installed, replace it with a known good one. The video timing setting on
the board may be bad.
◊ If it is the on-board video, replace the system board.
17. If a video board is installed and the built-in video is used:
a. Make sure the video board/built-in video combination is supported. Usually, two video
systems (for example, internal video and a video adapter board) cannot be used at the same
time.
b. If there is still a problem, make sure the board is seated correctly.

can cause previously installed PCI drivers to not recognize their adapter board(s).

To resolve the configuration problem, move the PCI board that has bridging capability to a primary PCI slot.

Symptom:

• The configuration cannot be saved and the battery loses power

Refer to this section if the NetServer frequently loses date and time that may be caused by the battery losing
power.
1. Review the Troubleshooting Checklist before you continue.
2. If the NetServer frequently loses the time and date, replace the battery. The battery is attached
to the system board.
3. Set the new date and time, and reset the configuration parameters using the Setup Utility, if
necessary.
4. Turn off AC power to the NetServer, then reboot to see if the date and time was saved.
5. If date and time are still requested, and the battery is good, perform the next procedure, below.

If your HP NetServer repeatedly loses its configuration or the clock stops, you should replace the battery or
install an external battery.

WARNING There is a danger of explosion if the battery is incorrectly installed. For your safety,
never attempt to recharge, disassemble, or burn the old battery. Replace only with
the same or equivalent type recommended by the manufacturer. Dispose of used
batteries according to the manufacturer's instructions.

Symptom:

• The configuration information is frequently lost and the battery is good

If the battery is good and you cannot save system configuration, do the following

53
Chapter 5 Troubleshooting

1. Review the Troubleshooting Checklist before you continue.

2. Configuration information is saved in the CMOS. If you continue to loose configuration
information and the battery is good, or you cannot save the information to the CMOS:
a. If possible, using the configuration utility, save the current configuration to a diskette.
b. Replace the system board.

Printer/Datacomm Problems
Symptom:

• A printer does not print or datacomm devices are not working

If the printer does not work, or the datacomm devices are not working, do the following:
1. Review the Troubleshooting Checklist before you continue.
2. Verify correct cables have been used, the cables are connected properly, and the cable pins are
not bent.
Check the cable for continuity, or try a known good cable. Refer to the peripheral's manual.
3. Verify the AC power cord is plugged into the power source and the printer.
4. Ensure the printer power switch is on.
5. Ensure the AC outlet is working. If the printer is plugged into a multiple-outlet box, make sure
the switch on the outlet box is turned on, and the circuit breaker (if equipped) is not tripped.
6. Ensure the printer is on-line.
7. Examine the printer for a paper jam.
8. Run the printer internal self-test (if it has one) to make sure that the printer is functional. Refer to
the printer’s manual for instructions.
9. Ensure you have selected the correct port setting when you configured the printer. The printer
must be configured correctly for the NetServer and for the application. You may need to change
some switch settings on the printer.
10. Ensure you have not disabled the I/O ports. Run the Setup Utility (press [F2] during the boot
process) and verify the I/O port status.
11. Ensure the server’s printer port is working properly by running another peripheral from that port.
12. If the printer still does not work, it may have a resource conflict with another board or accessory.
Remove boards and accessories (except the hard disk drive) one at a time to isolate the
conflict. Check the printer for proper operation after you remove each board or accessory.
13. If an error message appears on the screen, refer to Error Messages and the printer’s manual
for help.
14. If the NetServer was working before you installed the accessory, remove the accessory and
restart the NetServer.
15. If the problem persists, replace the system board.

Keyboard and Mouse Problems

Symptoms:

• The keyboard does not work

• A character is not displayed when a key is pressed
1. Review the Troubleshooting Checklist before you continue.
2. Ensure the keyboard is not locked.
3. Ensure the keyboard cable connections at the rear of the NetServer and at the back of the
keyboard are securely and correctly attached.
4. If a keyboard/monitor switchbox is used with this NetServer, plug the keyboard directly into the
keyboard port of the NetServer. Verify the problem.
5. If the problem persists, turn off the NetServer and back on by using the power button.
6. Try replacing the keyboard with a known good keyboard.
7. If the problem persists, check the keyboard cable for continuity, or try a known good cable.
8. If the problem persists, replace the system board.
9. Once a suspect part has been found, verify that it is the problem by reinstalling the part and
duplicating the error.

Symptom:

• The mouse does not work or is intermittent

The HP NetServer automatically detects a mouse when one is installed. If the mouse or other input device is
not working, perform the following:
1. Review the Troubleshooting Checklist before you continue.
2. Check that the mouse cable is properly and securely connected to the server.
3. If a keyboard/monitor switchbox is used with this NetServer, plug the mouse directly into the
keyboard port of the NetServer. Verify the problem.
4. Ensure mouse's port does not have a resource conflict. Use the Setup Utility (press [F2].
5. Ensure correct mouse driver has been installed onto the boot drive. Refer to the mouse
installation manual or the operating system manual.
6. Replace the mouse with a known-good unit.
7. If the problem persists, replace the system board.

Flexible Disk Drive Problems

Symptoms:

• There are lost clusters

55
Chapter 5 Troubleshooting

• There are read/write errors

• The NetServer will not start from a diskette
If you cannot boot from, write to, or format the flexible disk, do the following:
1. Review the Troubleshooting Checklist and read about Boot Device Priority before you
continue.
2. Try booting from a good known flexible disk.
3. Check to see if boot from CD-ROM is enabled and if there is a bootable CD in the CD-ROM
drive.
4. Select the Setup Utility (press [F2] during the boot process and check that the NetServer's mass
storage configuration is correct. If for some reason you cannot run the Setup, you can clear
CMOS and reconfigure the server.
Try to reboot.
5. If you cannot format or write to a flexible disk:

◊ Ensure diskette is not write protected.

◊ Ensure disk drive is properly configured with the Setup utility. Make sure that "Start from
Flexible Disk" option is disabled.
6. Verfiy all internal drive cables are securely attached and functional. Inspect the cables and
reseat the connectors at both ends.
7. If the cables are securely attached, and the drive still does not work, replace the cables with
known good cables, one at a time.
8. If the problem persists, and/or there is an error code, replace the faulty part (the drive, the
system board, etc.)
9. If the problem persists, check for environmental problems that can damage disk media and disk
drive heads.

Environmental problems result from:

◊ Radiated Interference: Sources include communications and radar installations (such as at
an airport), radio/TV broadcast transmitters, and hand-held receivers.
◊ Airborne Contaminants: Sources include dust, smoke, and ashes. Steam from duplication
equipment may result in intermittent disk errors.

CD-ROM Problems
Symptom:

• The CD-ROM drawer will not open

If the CD-ROM drawer fails to open when you press the Eject Button or with software commands, do the
following:
1. Turn off all power to the computer.
2. To open the drawer, insert a pointed object, such as a paper clip, into the emergency eject hole
and push in about 1.75 inches (40 mm).

56
Chapter 5 Troubleshooting

Insert
paper clip

3. Remove the disk and close the drawer.

4. After you remove the disk, start the computer and try to open the drawer again with the Eject
Button or software commands.
5. If the drawer still will not open, replace the CD-ROM drive with a working unit.

Symptom:

• The CD-ROM drive is not working properly

The CD-ROM drive that comes with certain HP NetServer models is a SCSI device; others are IDE devices.
If the CD-ROM drive does not work, do the following:
1. Review the basic SCSI installation guidelines to ensure a proper configuration.
2. In addition, check the following:

◊ Verify correct drivers are installed.

◊ Verify a CD-ROM disk in the CD-ROM drive.
◊ Verify all internal drive cables are securely attached and functional.
3. If the drive is a Hewlett-Packard CD-ROM drive, review the CD-ROM Installation Guide for any
special installation instructions.
4. Try installing a known good CD-ROM drive
5. If the problem persists, check for environmental problems that can damage disk media and disk
drive heads. Environmental problems result from:

◊ Radiated Interference: Sources include communications and radar installations, radio/TV

broadcast transmitters, and hand-held receivers.
◊ Airborne Contaminants: Sources include dust, smoke, and ashes. Steam from duplication
equipment may result in intermittent disk errors.

Symptom:

• The NetServer won't boot from the CD-ROM

Use the Setup Utility to make sure the CD-ROM drive is bootable:
1. Review the Troubleshooting Checklist and Boot Device Priority
2. Run the Setup Utility.
3. Enable support for bootable CD-ROM.

57
Chapter 5 Troubleshooting

4. Save and exit the utility.

SCSI Problems
Symptom:

• The external SCSI subsystem does not work after installation

If the external SCSI subsystem does not work after installation, do the following:
1. Review the Troubleshooting Checklist and read Mass Storage Guidelines.
2. Run the DiagTools and verify the integrity of the SCSI buses, and other switch settings on the
external storage devices are correct. Verify that each SCSI device is assigned a unique SCSI
ID.
3. Refer to the documentation that came with the SCSI devices for any specific information on
installing them.
4. Ensure all installed SCSI controllers are installed and configured correctly.
5. For any SCSI devices installed in an enclosure external to the NetServer chassis, make sure
that Ultra SCSI is disabled on this controller. SCSI devices external to the NetServer chassis
are supported in Fast SCSI mode only.
6. Check the SCSI cables for problems that may have been caused by recent computer
maintenance, hardware upgrades, or physical damage.
7. Check the ROM BIOS version to make sure it is the most recently issued version. Booting the
most recent version of the HP NetServer Navigator CD-ROM will automatically report if the
BIOS is not current and needs updating (“flashing”). Follow the instructions in the screen to
update the BIOS.
8. Check that the external SCSI subsystem BIOS is being executed properly.

◊ When you start the server, the incrementing count of the RAM appears on the screen. Then
the external SCSI BIOS displays a banner and a copyright notice.
◊ The BIOS then checks for valid devices on the SCSI bus, and reports which devices are
found. If you have installed and configured the SCSI devices correctly, you will see a list
confirming all SCSI devices installed in the NetServer.
◊ If the banner is not displayed, the external SCSI controller is not recognized.

9. Verify the SCSI bus is terminated at both ends. By default, HP SCSI controllers are terminated.
When a device is connected to a connector on the controller, bus termination for that connector
is disabled. Verify that the last device on the bus is terminated.
10. Ensure no device is set to SCSI ID7; this is the SCSI ID used by the SCSI controller.
11. Verify all SCSI devices are either single-ended or differential SCSI devices (depending on the
NetServer model), and that any bus does not contain both types.
12. Verify the SCSI hard disk drive that loads the operating system is set to the lowest SCSI
address (usually set to 0).
13. If a second hard disk drive is connected to the SCSI cable, check it for proper SCSI address,
SCSI cable connection, proper power, and jumper settings.
14. Disconnect all SCSI devices except the integrated SCSI adapter and the drive at SCSI address
0, and try again. If this fails, try substituting a known good SCSI adapter board and a good hard
disk drive.

58
Chapter 5 Troubleshooting

Symptom:

• The SCSI BIOS has trouble loading

If the NetServer has trouble loading the SCSI BIOS, do the following:
1. Review the Troubleshooting Checklist before you continue.
2. If you installed more than one SCSI controller, make sure that the BIOS of all SCSI controllers
are disabled except for the boot controller. This lets the SCSI BIOS for the boot controller load.
3. Determine what the boot device priority is for the NetServer model. Verify that the boot device is
in the right place in the priority.

Symptom:

• The SCSI subsystem does not work at installation

An incorrect configuration and not faulty hardware cause many SCSI problems. If the SCSI subsystem does
not work after installation, do the following:
1. Review the Troubleshooting Checklist and Mass Storage Guidelines before you continue.
2. Run the DiagTools and verify the integrity of the SCSI buses, and other switch settings on the
external storage devices are correct. Verify that each SCSI device is assigned a unique SCSI
ID.
3. If you don't see the SCSI BIOS banner during NetServer start:

"Symbios, Inc. SDMS(TM)V4.0 PCI SCSI BIOS, PCI Rev. 2.0, 2.1"
"Copyright 1995, 1998 Symbios, Inc."

◊ Check the cable connections.

◊ Check the SCSI termination.

4. Run the Setup Utility or SCSI Configuration Utility and verify the SCSI host bus adapter (HBA) is
properly configured.
The HBA is usually SCSI ID 7.
5. If you installed more than one SCSI adapter, verify each adapter is set to a separate BIOS
address; or disable the BIOS on all of the adapters except one.
6. For each device, verify;

◊ The device has a unique SCSI address.

◊ In general, when selecting an address for a drive (default address is 0), select as low a SCSI
address as possible.
◊ The device's jumpers are set according to the device documentation.
◊ The hard disk activity light cable (for non-hot-swap devices) is properly installed.
7. Check that the primary SCSI hard disk drive is set to the lowest address (usually set to 0). Each
device (the HBA is also a device) must have a unique and separate SCSI ID number. To solve
this problem, simply set the device ID to something other than that of the HBAs SCSI ID (7). If
the device is a boot drive, then the SCSI ID should be set at 0.
8. If another hard disk drive is connected to the SCSI bus, check it for unique address, SCSI cable
connection, and power connection.

59
Chapter 5 Troubleshooting

9. Check the SCSI bus cable for correct orientation, alignment, and seating on the SCSI adapter
and the SCSI device.
10. Check for the correct Hewlett-Packard internal and external SCSI cables.
11. Check that all SCSI devices are connected to power, and power-on all SCSI devices before or
at the same time as the NetServer to ensure a stable SCSI bus.
12. Watch the boot screen for all SCSI devices to be displayed. For example, in a NetServer with 1
SCSI controller and 2 hard disk drives (one with ID 0 and one with ID 1), if a valid device is
found at device address 0, but not at address 1, you would see these device validation lines on
the boot screen:

Channel x, SCSI ID #n - id info - Drive C: (80h)

If you see this message:

a. Verify that the SCSI hard disk drive is set to address 1.

b. Check the SCSI bus cable for correct orientation, alignment, and seating on the host adapter
and the hard disk drive.
c. Verify that terminators are installed at each end of the SCSI bus, but not on any other
devices. The hot swap cage printed circuit board has automatic termination that disconnects
when a cable is attached.
d. Verify all SCSI devices on the bus are appropriate for that bus (only single-ended SCSI
devices on the single-ended bus; only differential SCSI devices on the differential bus).
13. If the NetServer still fails to recognize the SCSI drive, disconnect all SCSI devices except the
host adapter and the drive at SCSI address 0 and try again. If the NetServer fails, try
substituting a known good hard disk drive.
14. If the SCSI BIOS has properly identified device 0 and has installed it as drive C, but cannot find
a device at address 1, and in addition, if no further messages are displayed, it indicates the
NetServer cannot load the operating system from device 0, check the following:
a. If a second hard disk drive is connected to the SCSI bus, check it for proper address
selection, SCSI cable connection, and proper power.
b. Partition the hard disk drive if required.
15. Use only SCSI devices without built-in terminators.
The HP NetServer embedded controllers are terminated automatically on the hot swap cage or
at the end of the SCSI cable. If you are installing a SCSI device that uses a built-in terminator,
you must remove the terminator from the device before proceeding with the installation.
Use only the HP NetServer SCSI cables for the SCSI hot swap subsystem.
16. Verify all SCSI devices on the bus are appropriate for that bus (only single-ended SCSI devices
on the single-ended bus; only differential SCSI devices on the differential bus).
17. Disconnect all SCSI devices except the SCSI adapter and the drive at SCSI address 0, and try
again. If this fails, try substituting a known good SCSI adapter and disk drive.
18. Use the Setup Utility to check for resource conflicts, especially if new boards or accessories
have been added.

60
Chapter 5 Troubleshooting

Symptom:

• The SCSI subsystem stops working

If the SCSI subsystem should stop working, do the following:
1. Review the Troubleshooting Checklist and Mass Storage Guidelines before you continue.
2. Run DiagTools. Verify that the SCSI ID and other switch settings are correct and get specific
information or verification that the problem is the SCSI bus.
3. If an accessory board was added recently, check if there is a resource conflict between the new
board and an existing accessory board. Also, if you have changed the options on an existing
board, there may be a resource conflict.
a. Remove the new board and restart the computer. If this corrects the problem, the board is
either defective or it is trying to use a system resource used by the SCSI subsystem.
b. Check if the board is using memory, I/O addresses, or interrupt lines that are also used by
the SCSI subsystem.
4. Check to see if there have been recent changes to any software. For example, has anyone
moved, removed, or changed the configuration files or drivers? Refer to the software
documentation for more information.
5. If you suspect hardware failure and there are no system error messages, check each
component associated with the failure. Equipment failure is probably the most unlikely reason
for a SCSI subsystem failure.

Processor Problems
If a problem exists with the NetServer processor;
1. Remove and reseat the processor module(s).
2. Replace each of these components, one-at-a-time, with a known-good component, and retest
the NetServer:

• Processor
• Terminator (if so equipped)

CAUTION Do not push on the processor components; push only on the edge. Pushing on the
device may damage it.

3. If the fault persists, replace the system board.

Memory Problems
The memory modules are DIMMs.

NOTE If the POST (displayed at power-on time) indicates a defective memory module,
replace it.

1. Review the Troubleshooting Checklist before you continue.

61
Chapter 5 Troubleshooting

2. If memory problems are being experienced, power the NetServer off and on. This performs a
"cold" restart, rather than a "warm" restart (as it does when you press Ctrl+Alt+Del).
3. Check the BIOS event log (available on certain NetServer models) for messages indicating
memory errors.
4. Run the DiagTools memory test.
5. Reseat the memory modules.
6. To check that the modules are installed and configured correctly:
a. Run the Setup Utility and check the configuration.
b. Install one known good DIMM. If you still receive an error, replace the system board.
If the error goes away, add another DIMM and reboot again. Continue this process until you
have installed all DIMMs or you experience a failure.
Replace the defective DIMM.
7. Once a suspect part has been found, verify the cause of the problem by reinstalling the part and
attempting to duplicate the error. Also install it in another memory socket to confirm whether or
not the socket is defective.

Network Interface Card Problems

See the appropriate Network Interface Card documentation.

Symptom:

• If the adapter can't connect to the network

1. Make sure the cabling is installed properly.
2. Most hub and switch connections require straight-through cable; consult their documentation. If
you're directly connecting two computers (with no hub or other device), use a “crossover” cable.
3. Verify there are no resource conflicts between the NIC and any other accessories in the
NetServer. Check the Setup Utility.
4. Check the LEDs on the adapter at the back of the computer to see if any show activity. No lit
LEDs probably indicate a bad network cable, hub connection or other network error.
5. Ensure you're using the latest and correct drivers. Verify the drivers are intended for this
adapter.
6. Ensure the port on the switch or hub (or other device) has the same duplex setting as the
adapter.
7. If you configured the adapter for full duplex, make sure the switch port is also configured for full
duplex. Setting the wrong duplex mode can degrade performance, cause data loss, or result in
lost connections.
8. Test the adapter as directed in the installation tasks for each operating system. Also check the
“README” files on the support disk.
