    • M
      Miguel KelleyAug 17, 2025
      If the link is down, check cable connections and reseat if necessary. Inspect cables for damage and replace if necessary. Swap cables to determine if the fault is caused by a defective cable and replace the cable if necessary. Verify that the switch, if any, is operating properly. If possible, test with another port. Verify that the HBA is fully seated, and that the PCI slot is powered on and operational. Review event logs for indicators of a specific fault in a host data path component and follow any recommended actions.
