Troubleshooting Your Enclosure

Troubleshooting Enclosure Connections

1 Verify that the EMM port link status LED and the EMM status LED are

solid green for each port that is connected to a cable. If the LEDs are not
solid green, see "Enclosure Management Module" on page 13.

2 Ensure that all the cables are attached correctly according to enclosure

mode you selected. For more information about enclosure modes, see
"Operating Your Storage Enclosure" on page 19.

3 If you reseated cables, reboot the host server.

NOTE:

You must turn off the host server before reseating the cables on

the enclosure.

If the problem is not resolved, see "Getting Help" on page 57.
