Switch Hardware Problems

This table lists situations that might occur with switch hardware and corrective steps that you can take to resolve the problem.

Situation
Corrective Steps
The Attention LED on a power supply is lit or the power supply seems dysfunctional.
  1. Check the power supply status.

    See Display Power Supply Status.

  2. Unplug the respective power cord, wait 15 minutes, then reattach the power cord.

  3. If the previous steps do not rectify the situation, replace the power supply.

    See Switch Service, servicing power supplies.

There is no network communication with the management controller.
  1. Verify that the management controller is powered without faults.

    See Check Chassis Status LEDs .

  2. Verify that there is a LinkUp condition at the network management port.

    See Check Network Management Port Status LEDs.

  3. Verfiy that the DHCP server is providing the IP address you are using to access the management controller.

    See DHCP server documentation.

  4. If you are able to access the management controller through the USB connector, restart the management controller.

    See Switch Installation, accessing the management controller and Restart the Management Controller.

  5. If you are unable to access the management controller through the USB connector, power cycle the switch.

    See Switch Service, powering off power supplies and Switch Service, powering on power supplies.

  6. If the previous steps do not rectify the situation, replace the switch.

    See Switch Service, removing the switch from the rack.

    See Switch Installation, installaing the switch into the rack.

The Attention LED on the switch chassis is lit or the management controller seems dysfunctional.
  1. If you are unable to access the management controller, power cycle the switch.

    See Switch Service, powering off the power supply and Switch Service, powering on the power supply.

  2. If you are able to access the management controller, restart the management controller.

    See Restart the Management Controller.

  3. Check overall switch health.

    See Display Switch General Health

  4. Verify that the switch is within operating temperatures and voltages.

    See Display Switch Environmental and Operational Data.

  5. If the previous steps do not rectify the situation, replace the switch.

    See Switch Service, removing the switch from the rack.

    See Switch Installation, installing the switch into the rack.

The Attention LED on a fan is lit or the fan seems dysfunctional.
  1. Check the fan speed.

    See Display Fan Status.

  2. If the previous step does not rectify the situation, replace the fan.

    See Switch Service, servicing fans.

  3. If the previous step does not rectify the situation, install the fan into another available slot.

    See Switch Service, servicing fans.

  4. If no other slots are available, replace the switch.

    See Switch Service, removing the switch from the rack.

    See Switch Installation, installing the switch into the rack.

After installation, no links are operational.
  1. Verify that there is at least one Subnet Manager active on the InfiniBand fabric.

    See Display Subnet Manager Priority, Controlled Handover State, Prefix, and Management Key.

  2. If no Subnet Manager is active, start the Subnet Manager within the switch.

    See Switch Installation, staring the Subnet Manager.

  3. If the previous steps do not rectify the situation, restart the Subnet Manager.

    See Disable the Subnet Manager and Enable the Subnet Manager.

After installation, not all links are operational.
  1. Determine which links are nonoperational.

    See Display Link Status.

  2. For links that are “Down”, disable and re-enable the respective ports.

    See Disable a Switch Chip Port and Enable a Switch Chip Port.

  3. If the previous steps do not rectify the situation, disable the respective port.

    See Disable a Switch Chip Port.

There was a power outage during a firmware update.
  1. If you are able to access the management controller, restart the management controller.

    See Restart the Management Controller.

  2. If you are unable to access the management controller, power cycle the switch.

    See Switch Service, removing the switch from the rack.

    See Switch Installation, installing the switch into the rack.

  3. Reperform the firmware upgrade.

    See Switch Remote Administration, upgrading the switch firmware.
