If the unit does not work properly with the replaced power supply, have the
unit serviced.
Verify that the network is operating and the network cable is working
properly.
Verify that the unit is communicating with the server by having the System
Administrator ping the unit from the server:
If the computer pings back, then the signal was accepted and the unit is
●
working. This indicates a configuration issue.
If the computer does not ping back and the computer does not connect
●
to the server, re-image the unit.
Verify that the network is not down.
Make sure the RJ-45 cable is good by installing the RJ-45 cable onto a known
working device—if a network signal is detected then the cable is good.
Verify the power supply is good by replacing the power cable to the unit with
a known working power supply cable and testing it.
If network lights still do not light and you know the power supply is good,
then re-image the unit.
If network lights still do not light, run the IP configuration procedure.
If network lights still do not light, have the unit serviced.
