Intermittent external device problems
Complete the following steps until the problem is solved.
1. Update the UEFI and XCC firmware to the latest versions.
2. Make sure that the correct device drivers are installed. See the manufacturer's website for
documentation.
3. For a USB device:
a. Make sure that the device is configured correctly.
b. Connect the device to another port. If using a USB hub, remove the hub and connect the device
directly to the server. Make sure that the device is configured correctly for the port.
Intermittent KVM problems
Complete the following steps until the problem is solved.
Video problems:
1. Make sure that all cables and the console breakout cable are properly connected and secure.
2. Make sure that the monitor is working properly by testing it on another server.
3. Test the console breakout cable on a working server to ensure that it is operating properly. Replace the
console breakout cable if it is defective.
Keyboard problems:
Make sure that all cables and the console breakout cable are properly connected and secure.
Mouse problems:
Make sure that all cables and the console breakout cable are properly connected and secure.
Intermittent unexpected reboots
Note: Some uncorrectable errors require that the server reboot so that it can disable a device, such as a
memory DIMM or a processor to allow the machine to boot up properly.
1. If the reset occurs during POST and the POST watchdog timer is enabled, make sure that sufficient time
is allowed in the watchdog timeout value (POST Watchdog Timer).
To check the POST watchdog time, restart the server and press the key according to the on-screen
instructions to display the LXPM system setup interface. (For more information, see the “Startup”
section in the LXPM documentation compatible with your server at
https://pubs.lenovo.com/lxpm-
overview/
.) Then, click System Settings ➙ Recovery and RAS ➙ System Recovery ➙ POST
Watchdog Timer.
2. If the reset occurs after the operating system starts, enter the operating system when the system
operates normally and set up operating system kernel dump process (Windows and Linux base
operating systems will be using different method). Enter the UEFI setup menus and disable the feature,
or disable it with the following OneCli command.
OneCli.exe config set SystemRecovery.RebootSystemOnNMI Disable --bmc XCC_USER:XCC_PASSWORD@XCC_IPAddress
3. See the management controller event log to check for an event code that indicates a reboot. See
“Event
logs” on page 299
for information about viewing the event log. If you are using Linux base operating
system, then capture all logs back to Lenovo support for further investigation.
