The documentation set for this product strives to use bias-free language. For the purposes of this documentation set, bias-free is defined as language that does not imply discrimination based on age, disability, gender, racial identity, ethnic identity, sexual orientation, socioeconomic status, and intersectionality. Exceptions may be present in the documentation due to language that is hardcoded in the user interfaces of the product software, language used based on RFP documentation, or language that is used by a referenced third-party product.

This chapter lists various troubleshooting options while using the UCS-SCU application.
•The OS installation process is interrupted and the server is rebooted.
Determine the value set for the Watch Dog Timer. The Watch Dog Timer is a new feature in the BIOS of the C-series servers. If this feature is enabled and the value is set for a time duration that is lesser than the time taken to install the OS, then the OS installation process is interrupted. This Watch Dog Timer feature automatically reboots or powers off the server after the specified time duration. So prior to initiating the OS installation process, disable the Watchdog Timer feature.
