If LEDs are not lit for a blade server, the problem could be in
the power supplies, the device itself, or the bay where the device is installed.
Problem
The LEDs for one of the
blade servers are not lit, but LEDs for other blade servers are lit.
Investigation
Perform these steps to resolve the
problem:
- Verify that the ac and dc LEDs are lit for all power supplies.
- From the advanced management module Web
interface, attempt to power on the blade server by clicking Power/Restart from
the Blade Tasks:
- From the Blade Tasks, click Remote Control to start
a remote session to the blade server.
- Switch to the remote session to verify that the blade server is starting
up.
- If the blade server powers on and is functional, but there are no lights
on the front bezel, there is a hardware failure in the bezel. Order the proper
bezel assembly for the blade server.
- Swap the blade server with a working blade server of the same type. If
the problem persists with the blade server in the new location, contact IBM
support for possible replacement.
- If the LEDs on the replacement blade server are not lit, the problem may
be in the blade server bay. See Isolating component failures.
