I don't know whether this is the right information you want because your
mail says that the purpose of the document is to troubleshoot servers but
you have named the document as a server test plan. If you are looking for
a template for documenting possible errors/problems and troubleshooting
instructions, use a format like this:

o Server specifications
 -Storage
 -Memory
 -Load
 -Utilization
 -Backup policy
 -Devices connected to the server

o Network specifications
 -Details of workstations and peripherals
 -Approximate utilization of resources
 -Resource allocation details
 -Shutdown and restart procedure in case of emergency

o Details of support contacts
o Problem ID/description
 -Explanation
 -Symptoms
 -Troubleshooting procedure

o Common error messages and description

If you are looking for a test plan or test case template, you can
download a template from any of the below links and customize it to suit
your requirements:

Goooooogle for more. 

Hope this helps!
