Diagnostic steps

To effectively troubleshoot a problem, HP recommends that you start with the
first flowchart in this section, "Start diagnosis flowchart (on page 84)," and
follow the appropriate diagnostic path. If the other flowcharts do not provide a
troubleshooting solution, follow the diagnostic steps in "General diagnosis
flowchart (on page 86)." The General diagnosis flowchart is a generic
troubleshooting process to be used when the problem is not server-specific or is
not easily categorized into the other flowcharts.
The available flowcharts include:
•
