battery self-test might take an additional 15 minutes. The LEDs will blink
intermittently until the storage subsystem powers up and completes the battery
self-test. Before attempting any operations, wait at least five minutes for the
storage subsystem to completely power up.
Note: If your DS4800 has been shipped directly from the factory, you might
have wait up to 24 hours for the battery to fully charge. You do not have
to wait for the battery to fully charge in order to continue with other
DS4800 setup tasks.
The DS4800 Storage Subsystem will spin up all the drives in the storage
expansion enclosures during the startup process.
6. Determine the status of all storage subsystems and components in the
configuration by completing the following steps.
a. Check all LEDs on each component in the storage expansion enclosures.
Ensure that all the LEDs show normal status. For more information on LED
status for storage expansion enclosures, see the Installation, User's, and
Maintenance Guide for your DS4000 storage expansion enclosure.
b. Check all LEDs on each component in the storage subsystem. Ensure that
all the LEDs show normal status. For information about LED status, see
"Checking the LEDs" on page 111.
c. Open the DS4000 Storage Manager Subsystem Management Window, and
display the Physical View for the configuration.
The status for each component will be either Optimal or Needs Attention.
d. Review the status of the configuration components shown in the Subsystem
Management Window by selecting the appropriate component button for
each storage subsystem.
7. Are the LEDs indicating normal operation, and is the status Optimal on all the
configuration components?
v Yes – End of procedure. Replace front bezel, as described in "Removing and
replacing the front bezel" on page 96.
v No – Go to step 8.
8. Diagnose and correct the fault by completing the following steps.
a. Run the DS4000 Storage Manager Recovery Guru by selecting the
Recovery Guru toolbar button in the Subsystem Management Window.
b. Complete the recovery procedure.
If the Recovery Guru directs you to replace a failed component, use the
individual LEDs on the storage subsystem to locate the failed component.
(For procedures to replace a failed component, see Chapter 5, "Replacing
components," on page 133.)
c. When the recovery procedure is completed, select Recheck in the Recovery
Guru. This action reruns the Recovery Guru to ensure that the problem has
been fixed.
d. If the problem has not been fixed, contact your IBM service representative.
