Verifying correct operation of the panels

Follow these procedures to determine if the front display panel or rear operator panel must be replaced.

Problem

Follow these steps if the server or expansion enclosure is powered on and operational, but the power-on indicator on either the front display panel or rear operator panel is not lit.

You can also follow these procedures if an error log entry appears in the Logs page of the DS Storage Manager and the system alert indicator on the front display panel or rear operator panel is not lit.

Investigation

If the enclosure is powered on but the power-on indicator is not lit: If the server or expansion enclosure is powered on, but the power-on indicator is not lit on either the front display panel or the rear operator panel, replace the faulty panel.
If an error log entry appears but the system alert indicator is not lit: If Logs page of the DS Storage Manager contains an error entry for a resource that is located within the server or expansion enclosure but the system alert indicator is not lit on either the front display panel or the rear operator panel, replace the faulty panel.
Use the Identify function to test the location LED indicators: Use the Identify button on the rear operator panel to locate connected expansion enclosures and to test the location LED indicators on the front display panel and rear operator panel.
If the location indicator on either the front display panel or rear operator panel does not light for a server enclosure, replace the faulty panel. If the location indicator on either the front display panel or rear operator panel does not light for a expansion enclosure that is correctly attached to the server enclosure, replace the faulty panel.
If, after you complete all of the steps above, you still receive an error message, call IBM Support.: IBM Support personnel can determine the cause of the problem and find the appropriate resolution.
