MAP 5400: Front panel

MAP 5400: Front panel helps you to solve problems that have occurred on the SAN Volume Controller front panel.

If you are not familiar with these maintenance analysis procedures (MAPs), first read Using the maintenance analysis procedures.

This MAP applies to all SAN Volume Controller models. Be sure that you know which model you are using before you start this procedure. To determine which model you are working with, look for the label that identifies the model type on the front of the node.

You might have been sent here because:
  • A problem occurred during the installation of a SAN Volume Controller system, the front panel display test failed, or the correct node number failed to be displayed
  • Another MAP sent you here
Perform the following steps:
  1. For a SAN Volume Controller 2145-4F2, is the power-on indicator on the front panel illuminated and showing a solid green LED or, for other models, is the power LED on the operator-information panel illuminated and showing a solid green?
    NO
    Continue with the power MAP.
    YES
    Go to step 2.
  2. (from step 1)
    Is the service controller check indicator that you see in Figure 1 illuminated and showing a solid amber?
    Figure 1. SAN Volume Controller service controller check or error lightSAN Volume Controller service controller check or error light
    • SAN Volume Controller 2145-4F2 service controller check light
    • SAN Volume Controller models 2145-CF8, 2145-8A4, 2145-8G4, 2145-8F4, and 2145-8F2 service controller error light
    NO
    Start the front panel tests by pressing and holding the select button for five seconds. Go to step 3.
    Attention: Do not start this test until the node is powered on for at least two minutes. You might receive unexpected results.
    YES
    The SAN Volume Controller service controller has failed. Replace the parts in the following sequence:
    SAN Volume Controller models 2145-CF8, 2145-8A4, 2145-8G4, 2145-8F4, and 2145-8F2 Service controller
    SAN Volume Controller 2145-4F2
    1. Service controller
    2. Front panel assembly

    Verify the repair by continuing with MAP 5700: Repair verification.

  3. (from step 2)

    The front panel check light illuminates and the display test of all display bits turns on for 3 seconds and then turns off for 3 seconds, then a vertical line travels from left to right, followed by a horizontal line travelling from top to bottom. The test completes with the switch test display of a single rectangle in the center of the display.

    Did the front panel lights and display operate as described?
    NO
    SAN Volume Controller front panel has failed its display test.
    • Replace the parts in the following sequence:
      SAN Volume Controller models 2145-CF8, 2145-8A4, 2145-8G4, 2145-8F4, and 2145-8F2 Service controller

      1. Service controller
      2. Front panel assembly
    • Verify the repair by continuing with MAP 5700: Repair verification.
    YES
    Go to step 4.
  4. (from step 3)

    Figure 2 provides four examples of what the front panel display shows before you press any button and then when you press the up button, the left and right buttons, and the select button. To perform the front panel switch test, press any button in any sequence or any combination. The display indicates which buttons you pressed.

    This figure shows how the navigational buttons are displayed on the front panel when they are pressed

    Check each switch in turn. Did the service panel switches and display operate as described in Figure 2?

    NO
    The SAN Volume Controller front panel has failed its switch test.
    • Replace the parts in the following sequence:
      SAN Volume Controller models 2145-CF8, 2145-8A4, 2145-8G4, 2145-8F4, and 2145-8F2 Service controller
      SAN Volume Controller 2145-4F2
      1. Front panel assembly
      2. Service controller
    • Verify the repair by continuing with MAP 5700: Repair verification.
    YES
    Press and hold the select button for five seconds to exit the test. Go to step 5.
  5. (from step 4)
    Is front panel display showing: Charging, Cluster Error, or Node Error?
    NO
    Go to step 6.
    YES
    Press down. Go to step 6.
  6. Is front panel display now showing Cluster:?
    NO
    Continue with MAP 5000: Start.
    YES
    Keep pressing and releasing the down button until Node is displayed in line 1 of the menu screen. Go to step 7.
  7. (from step 6)
    Is this MAP being used as part of the installation of a new node?
    NO
    Front panel tests have completed with no fault found. Verify the repair by continuing with MAP 5700: Repair verification.
    YES
    Go to step 8.
  8. (from step 7)
    Is the node number that is displayed in line 2 of the menu screen the same as the node number that is printed on the front panel of the node?
    NO
    Node number stored in front panel electronics is not the same as that printed on the front panel.
