Introduction

This document is designed to help you determine the root cause of bootup issues on the Cisco Media Convergence Server (MCS)-78xx servers.

Prerequisites

Requirements

Cisco recommends that you have knowledge of this topic:

  • Cisco MCS-78xx server administration

Components Used

The information in this document is based on these software and hardware versions:

  • Cisco MCS-78xx series servers

  • Cisco MCS-78xx Operating System (OS) V2000.x or later

The information in this document was created from the devices in a specific lab environment. All of the devices used in this document started with a cleared (default) configuration. If your network is live, make sure that you understand the potential impact of any command.

Conventions

Refer to Cisco Technical Tips Conventions for more information on document conventions.

POST

Power-On-Self-Test (POST) is a series of diagnostic tests that run automatically when the system is turned on (small program contained in the BIOS). Most of the POST errors in this document are general. However, others are related to Compaq-specific hardware.

POST checks these assemblies to ensure that the computer system functions properly:

  • System ROM

  • Keyboard

  • Power supply

  • System board

  • Memory

  • Memory expansion boards

  • Controllers

  • Diskette drives

  • Hard drives

  • Processor power modules

  • Fans

POST Error Message

If POST finds an error in the system, an error condition is indicated by an audible or visual message. If an error code displays on the screen during POST or after you reset the system, use the instructions in the POST Error Messages table found in this document.

Note: Many of the actions listed require you to run Diagnostics or the Compaq System Configuration Utility.

These utilities can be downloaded from the Compaq/HP web site per these steps:

  1. Go to 'http://welcome.hp.com/country/us/en/support.html?pageDisplay=support'. You are then redirected to http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/SoftwareDescription.jsp?lang=en&cc=us&swItem=MTX-UNITY-I13227&jumpid=reg_R1002_USEN leavingcisco.com.

    The HP/Compaq search window appears.

  2. Fill out the exact model and OS of your server, then click Locate Software.

    The Software/drivers page for this particular model appears.

  3. Click Utilities.

  4. Download the Diagnostics Utility and System Configuration Utility from this page.

    Note: The blue LED which is located at the front and rear of an HP MCS 78XX server is called the Unit Identification light (UID). The UID is a feature of all DL servers that allows the user to distinguish which server they are working on in the rack. The UID can be lit from the CIM console, as well as at the server by pressing either the front or rear UID button. Once lit, the LED is blue in order to help the user identify the unit.

The Recommended Action column lists the steps necessary to correct the problem. After completion of each step, run the Diagnostics program to verify whether the error condition is corrected. If the error code reappears, perform the next step, then run the Diagnostics program again. Follow this procedure until Diagnostics no longer detects an error condition.

the drive unless all 
other drives in the 
array are online.
Back up data before 
replacing drive(s)if 
using RAID 0.
