The simplest way to diagnose a fault is to check the system status LEDs on the
Fabric modules. In addition, with the DeviceMgr network management system,
you can also locate the fault through management software.
After the switch is powered on, booting information is displayed on the
configuration terminal. If the configuration system has failed, there is no screen
display at the configuration terminal or the displayed characters are illegible.
If there is no information displayed on the terminal after the Switch 7750 is
powered on, check that:
The power system is working normally.
■
The Fabric is working normally.
■
The console cable has been connected to the console port in the Fabric.
■
If this procedure does not reveal the problem, verify that the console cable is
properly connected and that the configuration terminal is set correctly.
If the displayed characters are illegible, the parameters of configuration terminal
may not have been set correctly. See Setting Terminal Parameters on page 45.
If the Power OK LED is off, there may be something wrong with the system power
supply. Check that:
The power module has been installed in the correct position to ensure normal
■
communication with the backplane.
The switch power has been turned on.
■
The power cord is connected properly.
■
The source voltage is correct.
