Software problems

solved.
• See Chapter 5 "Parts listing" on page 141 to check if a component is a consumable, structural, or FRU part.

Symptom
You suspect a software
problem.
Action
1. Make sure that the server supports the ServerGuide program and has a
startable (bootable) DVD drive.
2. If the startup (boot) sequence settings have been changed, make sure that the
DVD drive is first in the startup sequence.
3. If more than one DVD drive is installed, make sure that only one drive is set as
the primary drive. Start the CD from the primary drive.
1. Make sure that the hard disk drive is connected correctly.
2. Make sure that the SAS/SATA hard disk drive cables are securely connected.
Make more space available on the hard disk.
Make sure that the operating-system CD is supported by the ServerGuide
program. For a list of supported operating-system versions, go to
http://www.ibm.com/support/entry/portal/docdisplay?lndocid=SERV-GUIDE, click
Service and Support Site, click the link for your ServerGuide version, and scroll
down to the list of supported Microsoft Windows operating systems.
Make sure that the server supports the operating system. If it does, either no logical
drive is defined (SCSI RAID servers), or the ServerGuide System Partition is not
present. Run the ServerGuide program and make sure that setup is complete.
Action
1. To determine whether the problem is caused by the software, make sure that:
• The server has the minimum memory that is needed to use the software. For
memory requirements, see the information that comes with the software.
If you have just installed an adapter or memory, the server might have a
memory-address conflict.
• The software is designed to operate on the server.
• Other software works on the server.
• The software works on another server.
2. If you received any error messages when using the software, see the information
that comes with the software for a description of the messages and suggested
solutions to the problem.
3. Contact the software vendor.
