Before you call
Try to solve the problem yourself before you call.
Make sure that you have taken these steps to try to solve the problem yourself:
v
Check all cables to make sure that they are connected.
v
Check the power switches to make sure that the system and any optional
devices are turned on.
v
Use the troubleshooting information in your system documentation, and use the
diagnostic tools that come with your system.
Information about diagnostic tools is in the online information and the
Problem
Determination and Service Guide
on the IBM
Documentation
CD that comes with
your system.
v
Go to www.ibm.com/systems/support/ and click
BladeCenter
to check for
information to help you solve the problem.
You can solve many problems without outside assistance by following the
troubleshooting procedures that IBM provides in the online help or in the
documentation that is provided with your IBM product. The documentation that
comes with BladeCenter systems also describes the diagnostic tests that you can
perform.
Most BladeCenter systems, operating systems, and programs come with
documentation that contains troubleshooting procedures and explanations of error
messages and error codes. If you suspect a software problem, see the
documentation for the software.
Using the documentation
Information about your IBM BladeCenter system and preinstalled software, if any,
or optional device is available in the documentation that comes with the product.
That documentation can include printed documents, online documents, readme
files, and help files.
See the troubleshooting information in your system documentation for instructions
for using the diagnostic programs. The troubleshooting information or the
diagnostic programs might tell you that you need additional or updated device
drivers or other software. IBM maintains pages on the Web where you can get the
latest technical information and download device drivers and updates. To access
these pages, go to www.ibm.com/jct01004c/systems/support/supportsite.wss/
brandmain?brandind=5000020 and follow the instructions. Also, some documents
are available through the IBM Publications Center at www.elink.ibmlink.ibm.com/
publications/servlet/pbi.wss.
