Troubleshooting
Issue:
Cable LED inside Xpander does not light green.
Resolution:
Check the following:
•
Confirm that the HIC is firmly seated in a PCIe slot within the host computer.
•
Confirm that the cable connector is firmly seated HIC connector port.
Issue:
Cable LED inside Xpander flashes green even though I have a PCIe x16 HIC
and cable.
Resolution:
The internal Cable LED should light steady green. If the Cable LED flashes, it is
transferring data at a reduced bandwidth because you installed the PCIe x16 HIC
in a Gen 1 slot or a PCIe x8 (electrical) slot. If your HIC is PCIe x8, you installed
it in a Gen 1 slot. The HIC operates at full bandwidth when installed in a PCIe
Gen 2 slot.
Issue:
Slot LED inside Xpander does not light green.
Resolution:
Shut down the OS gracefully, power down Xpander and reseat the GPUs in each
PCIe slot. Make sure that you seat each GPU firmly in its slot and that you
connect all aux power connectors firmly.
Issue:
Slot LED inside Xpander flashes green even though I installed a PCIe x16 Gen 3
GPU or card.
Resolution:
Slot LEDs should light steady green. If they are flashing, it may be because the
GPUs in the slots do not have a processing load. Apply a processing load on the
GPUs. If the s
lot LEDs still flash green, check the vendor’s link for a driver
update.
Warning
Before lifting Xpander out of a cabinet, ask for assistance.
Warning
Remove GPUs or other adapters before shipping Xpander.
