Solving Problems at the Component Level

The key to success when troubleshooting the SN 5428 Storage Router is to isolate the problem to a specific storage router component. The first step is to compare what the SN 5428 Storage Router is doing to what it should be doing. Because a startup problem is usually attributed to a single component, it is more efficient to isolate the problem to a subsystem rather than troubleshoot each separate component in the storage router.

The SN 5428 Storage Router chassis consists of the following subsystems:

The power supply operates whenever system power is on (see the “Troubleshooting the Power Supply” section on page 3-3).
