card and cache memory are the
same in both controllers.
Front panel Fibre Channel
connection
Check that the CRUs are

LEDs are lit, suspect failure of
the SFP module. Verify the failure
using the DS Storage Manager
Client.
If all Fibre Channel connections
failed, suspect failure of the Fibre
Channel host daughter card.
SAS connection Check the SAS connection to
verify that the CRUs are properly
installed.
If the SAS port LED is off,
suspect failure of the SAS host
daughter card.
iSCSI connection Check the iSCSI connection to
verify that the CRUs are properly
installed.
If the iSCSI port LED is off,
check the Ethernet cable or verify
the link speed.
If all the iSCSI port LEDs are off,
suspect failure of the iSCSI host
daughter card.
Battery fault Battery unit failure Verify the failure using the DS
Storage Manager Client and
replace the failed battery.
