Troubleshooting Your System

315

NOTE:

After installing a new power supply, allow several seconds for the

system to recognize the power supply and determine whether it is working

properly. The power supply DC power indicator turns green if the power

supply is functioning properly. See Figure 1-17.

3 If none of the power supplies show a fault LED and the blades do not

power on, check the LCD display or CMC for status messages.

4 If the problem is not resolved, see "Getting Help" on page 361.

Troubleshooting Fan Modules

NOTE:

The fan modules are hot swappable. Remove and replace only one fan

module at a time in a system that is turned on. Operating the system without all six

fan modules for extended periods of time can cause the system to overheat.

1 Locate the faulty fan.

Each fan module has indicators that identify a faulty fan. See Figure 1-18.

2 Remove the fan module. See "Removing a Fan Module" on page 291.
3 Examine the blades for debris. If debris is present, carefully remove it.
4 Reseat the faulty fan. See "Installing a Fan Module" on page 292.
5 If none of the fans show a fault LED and the blades do not power on,

check the LCD display or CMC for status messages.

6 If the problem is not resolved, install a new fan.
7 If the new fan does not operate, see "Getting Help" on page 361.

Troubleshooting the CMC Module

NOTE:

To eliminate the possibility of a hardware problem with the module or its

attaching devices, first ensure that the module is properly initialized and

configured. See the Configuration Guide and the documentation that came with the

module before performing the following procedure.

1 Verify that the latest firmware is installed on the CMC module.

See

support.dell.com for the latest firmware and refer to the release notes

for firmware compatibility and update information.

2 Verify that the CMC(s) have valid IP addresses for the subnet. Verify using

the ICMP

ping command.

NOTE:

In an enclosure with two CMCs, both share the same IP address.
