Common issue resolution
Resolving loose connections
• Be sure that all power cords are securely connected.
• Be sure that all cables are properly aligned and securely connected for each external and internal
component.
• Remove and check all data and power cables for damage. Be sure that no cables have bent pins or
damaged connectors.
• If a cable routes through air baffles or other components, be sure the cords and cables connected to
the server are routed correctly through the baffle.
• Be sure that each device is properly seated. Avoid bending or flexing circuit boards when reseating
components.
• If a device has latches, be sure that they are completely closed and locked.
• Check any interlock or interconnect LEDs that might indicate that a component is not connected
properly.
• If issues continue to occur, remove and reinstall each device, checking the connectors and sockets for
bent pins or other damage.
• For ProLiant BL c-Class Server Blades, be sure the Onboard Administrator tray is seated properly.
