Power Non-Service Affecting Alarms - HP VMA Series Installation And Service Manual

HP-AM456-9002A Rev 01
Port Is Not Running at the Maximum Data Rate
Possible Alarm
The Port Is Not Running at the Maximum Data Rate Possible alarm occurs when
the negotiated rate of the connection on the specified port is lower than the
maximum possible data rate.
This error can occur, for example, when the PCIe card used in the host is not
compatible with the host computer chipset or if the PCIe extender card in the
host is not inserted into a PCIe that supports the maximum data rate (e.g. the
slot is mechanically x8 but electrically x4).
The Alarm LED is not lit when the negotiated rate is x4 or higher, but the alarm
is logged. If the rate drops to less than x4, service is affected and the Alarm LED
flashes.
See Booting Suspended, Fan-tray Missing Alarm
happens when PCIe lane negotiation fails.
To clear the alarm, change the PCIe card, host computer, or PCIe slot to
compatible components.
