To determine if the processor is supported for the server, see
3. (Trained technician only) Make sure that processor 1 is seated correctly.
4. (Trained technician only) Remove processor 2 and restart the server.
5. Replace the following components one at a time, in the order shown, restarting the server each time:
a. (Trained technician only) Processor

Server is unresponsive (POST is complete and operating system is running)

Complete the following steps until the problem is solved.
• If you are in the same location as the compute node, complete the following steps:
1. If you are using a KVM connection, make sure that the connection is operating correctly. Otherwise,
make sure that the keyboard and mouse are operating correctly.
2. If possible, log in to the compute node and verify that all applications are running (no applications are
hung).
3. Restart the compute node.
4. If the problem remains, make sure that any new software has been installed and configured correctly.
5. Contact your place of purchase of the software or your software provider.
• If you are accessing the compute node from a remote location, complete the following steps:
1. Make sure that all applications are running (no applications are hung).
2. Attempt to log out of the system and log back in.
3. Validate the network access by pinging or running a trace route to the compute node from a
command line.
a. If you are unable to get a response during a ping test, attempt to ping another compute node in
the enclosure to determine whether it is a connection problem or compute node problem.
b. Run a trace route to determine where the connection breaks down. Attempt to resolve a
connection issue with either the VPN or the point at which the connection breaks down.
4. Restart the compute node remotely through the management interface.
5. If the problem remains, verify that any new software has been installed and configured correctly.
6. Contact your place of purchase of the software or your software provider.
