Procedures for troubleshooting HPE Synergy components
The procedures in this section are comprehensive and include steps about or references to hardware
features. The features in this section may not be supported by all compute modules or components you
are troubleshooting.
Many of the troubleshooting procedures are intended as a list of troubleshooting steps. The first step may
resolve the issue or multiple steps may be needed. Complete the first step, and then verify that the
condition still exists before proceeding to the next step.
CAUTION: Before removing or replacing any processors, be sure to follow the guidelines provided
in "Processor troubleshooting guidelines on page 27." Failure to follow the recommended
guidelines can damage the system board, requiring replacement of the system board.

warning could mean that redundancy has been lost and additional failures would cause a loss of
service.
