Enclosure troubleshooting  31 
Procedures: Power supply failure 
 
 
CAUTION:   Some troubleshooting procedures require powering down an entire enclosure. To 
avoid possible data loss, always secure permission before powering down an enclosure. 
 
 
 
CAUTION:   If you are using a Virtual Connect environment, some of these procedures might 
cause the loss of Virtual Connect credentials and the loss of communication between the Onboard 
Administrator and the Virtual Connect Interconnect module. Ensure the Virtual Connect 
configuration is backed up before proceeding with any of the following procedures. Virtual 
Connect configuration can be backed up by using Virtual Connect GUI or Virtual Connect 
Support Utility. 
 
 
  
CAUTION:   To avoid data loss, do not remove an Onboard Administrator when the Insight 
Display shows a firmware update in progress. During this activity, the Insight Display displays the 
Firmware Update screen with the Lock icon and the firmware update progress bar. 
 
 
Step  Power supply failure action and verification 
Step 1 
Action 
Verify that the AC power cord is connected properly to the AC source and to the power 
supply reporting the error. 
 
Verification 
If the power supply LEDs indicate normal condition, then the repair is complete. 
If the power supply LEDs indicate other than normal condition, then continue to the next 
step. 
 
Step 2 
Action 
Remove the suspect power supply, and then replace it with a service spare power supply.
 
Verification 
If the power supply LEDs indicate normal condition, then the original power supply had 
failed and the repair is complete.   
  If the power supply LEDs indicate other than normal condition and you are 
troubleshooting an HP BladeSystem c7000 Enclosure, then continue to the next step. 
  If the power supply LEDs indicate other than normal condition and you are 
troubleshooting an HP BladeSystem c3000 Enclosure, then continue to step 4. 
Caution 
Request authorization to power down the enclosure. Do not continue to the next step until 
you receive proper authorization. 
Step 3 
Action 
Test the AC power input module: 
1  Remove the AC power input module. 
2  Install an operational AC power input module or service spare part. 
3  Reconnect all power cords. 
 
 
Verification 
If the power supply LEDs indicate normal 
condition, then the AC input module had failed 
and the repair is complete. 
If the power supply LEDs still indicate other than normal condition, then continue to step 14.
