Note:
Make sure that all drive activity is stopped (the green LED on the
hard disk drive is not blinking) before removing the storage module.
Note:
If you disengage or remove all devices from the front of the
BladeCenter S chassis (media tray, blade servers, and storage modules), the
power modules will be disabled.
4.
Verify that the ac and dc LEDs are lit for power module 1. If not, see
“Troubleshooting power problems” on page 64.
5.
Verify that the advanced management module is working. If not, see
“Troubleshooting advanced management module problems” on page 36.
a.
Log in to the advanced management module and check the System Status
page for any problems.
b.
Verify that the power supply is displayed in advanced management
module Power Management page.
c.
Check the event log for new error messages and resolve any errors that
you find. You can ignore messages related to non-redundant modules
because components have been removed from the BladeCenter S chassis.
6.
Plug in power supply 2 and verify that the ac and dc LEDs are lit.
7.
Log in to the advanced management module and verify that the power
supply is displayed in the advanced management module Power Management
page. If so, remove power supply 1.
8.
If you still do not have a minimum configuration that works, contact IBM
Support.
9.
Bring up a blade server by reengaging the blade server and starting it. Choose
a blade server that does not require the storage modules to boot.
a.
Install a blade server in blade server bay 1. Power it up and use the local
KVM connection to ensure that it completes POST and starts the operating
system.
v
If you do not see any video display while the blade is starting, see
“Troubleshooting monitor or video problems” on page 62
v
If the blade server fails with a POST error message or checkpoint code,
see the documentation for that blade server.
v
If the blade server starts, but the keyboard or mouse does not work, try
a different blade server.
– If the keyboard or mouse only fails for one blade server, suspect that
blade server.
– If the keyboard or mouse fails for multiple blade servers, suspect the
advanced management module. Verify the firmware level of the
advanced management module and replace the advanced
management module if necessary.
b.
Start the blade server on-board diagnostics (press
F2
during POST and run
diagnostics). If any errors are returned, see “Troubleshooting blade server
problems” on page 40.
Note:
For more information about on-board diagnostics and
troubleshooting a blade server, see the blade server troubleshooting
procedures provided for that blade server.
10.
Install the Ethernet switch module in I/O module bay 1 and connect it to the
network. Check the advanced management module system status to ensure
that it completes POST with no errors in the advanced management module
System Status page or the event log.
