Troubleshooting processors
Processor installation order
For a minimally loaded server blade, one processor must be installed in processor slot 0. Install
a processor of the same version into processor slot 1 (if purchased). See “Removing and replacing
a processor and heatsink module” (page 80) for more information on processor installation.
Processor module behaviors
All physical processors become functional after server power is applied.
Double-bit data cache errors in any physical processor core can cause a local MCA event, which
can have one of the following consequences:
• Can cause the entire system to crash.
• The failure is corrected and the processor is restarted.
• The failure is corrected, but the processor is disabled if it has experienced a local MCA before
within a certain time span.
Enclosure information
This installation document covers only the BL860c i2 server blade, and does not include any
specific server blade enclosure information. For server blade enclosure information, go to:
http://h71028.www7.hp.com/enterprise/cache/316735-0-0-0-121.html
Cooling subsystem
The server blade does not contain any fans. Cooling is handled by the enclosure.
Troubleshooting the management subsystem
The iLO MP is an integrated component on the server blade. There are no external or internal
LEDs to view or monitor their operational states.
Firmware
The server blade has two sets of firmware installed:
• Server blade firmware
• iLO MP firmware
Identifying and troubleshooting firmware issues
Erratic server blade operation, or unsuccessful boot to the UEFI Boot Manager or UEFI Shell,
are symptoms of possible firmware issues.
NOTE: Firmware issues are relatively rare. Look for other problem causes first.
Probable firmware failure areas are:
• Unsupported firmware installation
• Corrupt firmware installation
