Boot Problems/Concerns

Depending on the boot device, a checkpoint may be displayed on the operator panel for
an extended period of time while the boot image is retrieved from the device. This is
particularly true for tape and network boot attempts. If booting from CD-ROM or tape,
watch for activity on the drive's LED indicator. A blinking LED indicates that the loading
of either the boot image or additional information required by the operating system
being booted is still in progress. If the checkpoint is displayed for an extended period of
time and the drive LED is not indicating any activity, there might be a problem loading
the boot image from the device.
Note: For network boot attempts, if the system is not connected to an active network or
This procedure assumes that a CD-ROM drive is connected to internal SCSI connector
J7 and a diagnostics CD-ROM is available.

if the target server is inaccessible (which can also result from incorrect IP

time-out durations are necessarily long to accommodate retries, the system may
appear to be hung.
