contacting Mellanox Customer Service.
9.2
Solving Startup Problems
Try to solve startup problems using the Grid Director 4036E LED indicators.
Case 1: Problem with power supply – How do I know that my power supply is not
functional?
Check the power cord and its connections. Check the installation of the power supply module.
If the indicator is blinking, the 4036E power supply is faulty. Replace the power supply
module, if necessary.
NOTE:
In single power supply systems, the AC power cord must be plugged into the same side
of the chassis as the power supply
Case 2: What to do when there is a Fan indication problem?
Replace the Fan Unit.
Case 3: When the physical link indicator is OFF, is the InfiniBand cable or connector
faulty?
When the physical link indicator is ON, the logical link indicator is OFF, and the SM indicator
is ON, the InfiniBand cable or the connector is faulty. In case the InfiniBand cable is faulty,
replace the cable. If you could not solve the problem, contact your Support representative.
