Dealing With Problems Recovering from a System Panic NOTE: It is important to maintain an up-to-date backup of the files on your system so that, in the event of a disk head crash or similar situation, you can recover your data. How frequently you update these backups depends on how much data you can afford to lose.

Dealing With Problems Recovering from a System Panic Procedures for Recovering from a System Panic Step 1: The Panic Message In a log book, record and categorize the panic message displayed on the sys- tem console. The panic message will tell you why the operating system pan- icked.
Page 163 Dealing With Problems Recovering from a System Panic If the problem reappears on the device or if the hardware failure appears to be associated with an interface card or an internal component of the system module, you should refer the problem to your HP service representative. Proceed to Step 3, Rebooting Your System|.
