Troubleshooting 

Diagnostics 

The following diagnostic tests may be helpful in the event that the A33606-PCI-60-6A expander is not 
operating as expected. 

 

Verify the green front-panel LED is illuminated to indicate that power is being supplied to the board. 

 

Verify the expander is not in a fault state.  A fault is indicated by illuminating the yellow LED on the 
front panel of the board. 

 

Verify the expander is running by a blinking heartbeat LED, D9.  The LED is located above the Daisy-
Chain port, J1. 

 

Verify the fan on the expander heatsink is running. 

 

When connections are made to a port, the green LED associated with the port should flicker and blink 
to indicate that communications are occurring.
