2.
As the controller boots, check the controller LEDs and seven-segment display.
◦ The seven-segment display shows the repeating sequence OS, Sd, blank to indicate that
the controller is performing Start-of-day (SOD) processing. After a controller has
successfully booted up, its seven-segment display should show the tray ID.
◦ The amber Attention LED on the controller turns on and then turns off, unless there is an
error.
◦ The green Host Link LEDs remain off until you connect the host cables.
The figure shows an example controller canister. Your controller might
have a different number and a different type of host ports.
(1) Attention LED (amber)
(2) Seven-segment display
(3) Host Link LEDs (Controllers without two base-board ports on the rear do not have the
LEDs)
3.
From ThinkSystem System Manager, confirm that the controller’s status is Optimal.
If the status is not Optimal or if any of the Attention LEDs are on, confirm that all cables are
correctly seated, and check that the HIC and the controller canister are installed correctly. If
necessary, remove and reinstall the controller canister and the HIC.
If you cannot resolve the problem, contact technical support.
4.
If the new HIC ports require SFP+ transceivers, install these SFPs.
5.
Connect the cables from the controller’s host ports to the data hosts.
