Troubleshooting

This chapter provides information to assist you in troubleshooting the Intel® Compute
Module MFS5000SI.
A common cause of server function issues is outdated BIOS and BMC firmware, and
outdated operating system level device drivers. Before performing extensive
troubleshooting steps, ensure that the system BIOS and BMC firmware code, and device
drivers are up to date.
One of the first steps to perform in troubleshooting a compute module is to reboot the
system; try resetting your system using one of the methods below.
Soft boot reset to clear the system memory and reload the operating
system.
Cold boot reset. Turn the system power off and then on. This clears
system memory, restarts POST, reloads the operating system, and halts
power to all peripherals.
