Troubleshooting and tips

7.2Front or back error LED flashes orange

If the front or back ID/error LED is flashing orange (see section "Control and display elements" on page 57), one of the following errors may have occurred:

One of the power supply units has failed

The status LED of the power supply unit is not lit and/or the error LED of the power supply unit flashes green if, for example, one of the following errors has occurred in the power supply unit (see also figure "Indicators on the hot-plug power supply unit" on page 66):

General failure (warning or shutdown due to fan no. 1)

Temperature exceeded (one of the fans in the power supply unit is not working properly)

Overcurrent

Overvoltage or undervoltage

The power supply unit is reaching the end of its life or its ambient thresholds are being exceeded.

ÊCheck the status of the power supply unit and/or the fan-failure LEDs to identify the defective module and replace it (see section "Replacing the power supply unit" on page 135).

One of the fans in the fan module has failed

Although the system can still be used if one of the fans in the fan module fails, you should:

ÊReplace the defective fan module as soon as possible (see section "Hot-plug fan modules" on page 137 and section "Replacing a fan unit" on page 138).

A switch blade has failed

The error LED of the switch blade lights up when a general error occurs.

ÊCheck the error LEDs of the switch blades to find out which blade has failed.

ÊIf the switch blade is still being shown as defective, replace it (see section "Installing a connection blade" on page 120).
