When the Blade PC Does Not Start

D-14
This section provides systematic instructions on what to try and
where to go for help for the most common problems encountered
during initial Power On Self-Test (POST) of a Blade PC. The Blade
PC must first complete this test each time you power up, before it can
load the operating system and start running software applications.
If you have the same problem with several Blade PCs, you may have
an enclosure problem. See
section in this appendix.
If the Blade PC does not start:
1. If the Blade PC is rebooting repeatedly, be sure that the Blade PC
is not rebooting due to a problem that initiates an Automatic
System Recovery-2 (ASR-2) reboot.
You can enable ASR-2 to reboot your Blade PC.
Refer to the following sections in the Servers Troubleshooting
Guide on the Documentation CD that ships with your enclosure:
"Automatic System Recovery-2"
"System Short Circuit" for other continuous rebooting
problems
2. Reseat the Blade PC.
IMPORTANT: If the Blade PC does not restart, proceed to
Blade PC Diagnostic Steps"
3. Check the Blade PC for the normal power up sequence.
Do this by checking that the sever blade health LED turns to solid
green. For location and function of the sever blade health LED,
see the "Blade PC and Diagnostic Adapter LEDs"
Appendix E, "LEDs and Switches."
