5.8 lbs. (2.6 kg.) and the DC power supply weighs approximately 4.2 lbs. (1.9 kg.). CAUTION HP does not recommend and does not support the use of “ferro-active” or “ferro-resonant” power correction in conjunction with the B2600 workstation. This type of line conditioner represents an older technology that is not compatible with the most recent designs in active Power Factor Correction (PFC) power supplies such as those in the HP B2600 workstations.

Troubleshooting This chapter provides information about isolating a failing component, known as a Field Replaceable Unit (FRU), in HP B2600 workstations.
• Running ODE-Based Diagnostics Introduction to Troubleshooting To troubleshoot HP B2600 workstations, you must be familiar with the HP-UX operating system and be able to start and stop processes. You should also be familiar with the boot ROM diagnostics, ISL diagnostics, and the Support Tools Manager online tests, which are described in this chapter.
Page 27
Troubleshooting Flowcharts for Troubleshooting Figure 2-1. Main Flowchart for Troubleshooting Chapter 2...
Chassis codes are the key to debugging selftest errors. If a failure is found during selftest, chassis codes are displayed in the system LCD. To debug a failure: 1. In Table C-1 of the “HP B2600 Chassis Codes” appendix, find the chassis code listed on the LCD.
This feature allows the workstation to provide information to the operating system about memory failures. HP-UX uses this information to map out failing memory areas and continue normal operation. You can check the Memory Page Deallocation Table (PDT) using the pdt command in the Service menu of the Boot Console Handler (refer to Chapter 4).
Troubleshooting Running System Verification Tests Running System Verification Tests HP-UX uses an online diagnostics product called the Support Tools Manager that allows system operation verification. Three interfaces are available with the Support Tools Manager: a command line interface (accessed through the cstm command), a menu-driven interface (accessed through the mstm command), and the graphical user interface (accessed through the xstm command).
Troubleshooting Running ODE-Based Diagnostics Running ODE-Based Diagnostics The Offline Diagnostic Environment (ODE) consists of diagnostic modules for testing and verifying system operation. ODE provides all the necessary functions for the user to load specified tests and interact with those tests. ODE is an ISL utility.
To maintain FCC/EMI compliance, verify that all covers are replaced and that all screws are properly seated. Workstation Configurations Refer to the HP Workstations web site for a complete list of supported accessories, peripherals, and operating system versions for the HP B2600 workstations.

Boot Console Handler Features Boot Console Handler Features There are times when you want to interact directly with the B2600 workstation before it boots the operating system. These workstations provide a menu-driven Boot Console Handler that allows you to perform special tasks, display information, and set certain system parameters, even if the operating system is unavailable.
2. Press the power switch on the front panel of the workstation to power it off. NOTE There is no need to manually shut down the HP-UX operating system on the workstation before powering it off. When you press the power switch, the workstation automatically shuts down the operating system before terminating the power.
Boot Console Handler Boot Console Menus Boot Console Menus The boot console menus follow, showing the various tasks you can perform and the available information. The shortened version of each command is indicated by the uppercase letters. Help is available for all the menus and commands by using either help, he, or ? and the menu or command for which you want help.
