Make sure that:

turn on.

 

a.

The power LED on the front of the SBCE unit is lit.

 

 

 

 

b. The LEDs on all the power modules are lit.

 

 

c.

If the blade server or attached storage expansion unit is in blade bay 7

 

 

 

through 14 in the SBCE unit. Ensure power modules are installed in all

 

 

 

four power bays.

 

 

d.

The power-on LED on the blade server control panel is flashing slowly.

 

 

 

• If the power LED is flashing rapidly and continues to do so, the

 

 

 

blade server is not communicating with the management module;

 

 

 

reseat the blade server and go to step 3.

 

 

 

• If the power LED is off, either the blade bay is not receiving power,

 

 

 

the blade server is defective, or the LED information panel is loose

 

 

 

or defective.

 

 

e. Local power control for the blade server is enabled (use the

 

 

 

management-module Web interface to verify), or the blade server was

 

 

 

instructed through the management module to turn on.

 

2. If you just installed an option in the blade server, remove it, and restart the

 

 

blade server. If the blade server now turns on, troubleshoot the option (see

 

 

the documentation that comes with the option for information).

 

3.

Try another blade server in the blade bay; if it works, replace the faulty blade

 

 

server.
