Fibre Channel Adapter (FRU
01K7354)
General Checkout
There are three basic types of problems that can cause
the adapter to function incorrectly:
Hardware problems
System configuration problems
Fibre Channel problems
Hardware Problems
The following is an itemized list to help you determine if a
problem is caused by the hardware:
Are all of the adapters installed securely in the
computer?
Are all of the cables connected securely to the correct
connectors? Be sure that the SC connectors that
attach from the J1 connector on the adapter to the
device are connected correctly.
Is the adapter installed correctly in the expansion
slot? Is it seated firmly in the slot?
Are all peripheral devices properly powered on? See
“Scan Fibre Channel Devices” on page 26 for
information about displaying attached devices.
System Configuration Problems
To find out if a problem was caused by system
configuration, check the system board to make sure it is
configured properly (see “Installation Procedures” on
page 28).
Fibre Channel Problems
To verify if a problem is caused by the Fibre Channel,
determine if all of the FC devices were powered on before
you powered on the server.
