• If the green activity LED is flashing and the yellow status LED is not lit, the drive is recognized by the
controller and is working correctly. Run the diagnostics tests for the hard disk drives. When you start
a server and press the key according to the on-screen instructions, the LXPM is displayed by default.
(For more information, see the “Startup” section in the LXPM documentation compatible with your

• If the green activity LED is flashing and the yellow status LED is flashing slowly, the drive is
recognized by the controller and is rebuilding.
• If neither LED is lit or flashing, check the hard disk drive backplane (go to step Hard disk drive
problems).
• If the green activity LED is flashing and the yellow status LED is lit, replace the drive. If the activity of
the LEDs remains the same, go to step Hard disk drive problems. If the activity of the LEDs changes,
return to step 1.
4. Make sure that the hard disk drive backplane is correctly seated. When it is correctly seated, the drive
assemblies correctly connect to the backplane without bowing or causing movement of the backplane.
5. Reseat the backplane power cable and repeat steps 1 through 3.
6. Reseat the backplane signal cable and repeat steps 1 through 3.
7. Suspect the backplane signal cable or the backplane:
• Replace the affected backplane signal cable.
• Replace the affected backplane.
8. Run the diagnostics tests for the hard disk drives. When you start a server and press the key according
to the on-screen instructions, the LXPM is displayed by default. (For more information, see the “Startup”
section in the LXPM documentation compatible with your server at

Based on those tests:
• If the adapter passes the test but the drives are not recognized, replace the backplane signal cable
and run the tests again.
• Replace the backplane.
• If the adapter fails the test, disconnect the backplane signal cable from the adapter and run the tests
again.
• If the adapter fails the test, replace the adapter.

• Make sure that the device drivers and firmware for the hard disk drive and server are at the latest level
Important:
Some cluster solutions require specific code levels or coordinated code updates. If the device is
part of a cluster solution, verify that the latest level of code is supported for the cluster solution before you
update the code.
