Maintenance and diagnostics overview
Introduction
The maintenance and diagnostic activities discussed in this guide are
divided into two groups of activities:

troubleshooting and diagnostics (identifying the cause of and resolving
system problems)

performing hardware maintenance
Who should read this guide
This guide is for administrators, technicians, and engineers responsible for
maintaining a CallPilot server. It is intended to act as a guide for

using system tools to identify the cause of system problems

installing, replacing, or upgrading hardware components
This guide assumes that you have basic computing skills, and are familiar
with necessary safety procedures. For more information about safety, refer
to Part 1 of the CallPilot Installation and Configuration binder.
Resolving system problems
This guide describes how to use a variety of CallPilot resources for
resolving system problems.
If you are not able to resolve your problem with the resources described in
this guide, you can also refer to the following documents:

Note: For more details, see “Resolving system problems” on page 14.
Preparing for hardware or software maintenance
The “Starting up and shutting down the CallPilot server” chapter in Part 1 of
the CallPilot Installation and Configuration binder explains how to restart,
shut down, and power up the CallPilot server. You may be asked to perform
one or more of these tasks while maintaining your server.
Performing hardware maintenance
Chapters 7 to 14 in this guide explain how to replace hardware components.
For more details, see “Replacing hardware components” on page 17.
Rebuilding the CallPilot system
When you purchased your CallPilot server, it came preinstalled with the
Windows NT operating system and CallPilot server software. If your
CallPilot server no longer functions because of a software problem, you may
need to reinstall the CallPilot software or rebuild the system.
To locate instructions for these tasks, refer to Part 4 of the CallPilot
Installation and Configuration binder.
