Troubleshooting a storage controller module

Prerequisites

CAUTION:

Many repairs may only be done by a certified service technician. You should only perform troubleshooting and simple

repairs as authorized in your product documentation, or as directed by the online or telephone service and support team.

Damage due to servicing that is not authorized by Dell is not covered by your warranty. Read and follow the safety instructions

that came with the product.

NOTE:

When troubleshooting the storage controller module, also see the documentation for your operating system and the

controller module.

Steps

Open the drive drawer.

Check the storage controller module indicators. If the indicator blinks amber, it indicates a fault condition.

Turn off the compute sled to which the storage sled is mapped.

The storage sled also turns off.

Remove the storage sled from the enclosure.

Reseat the storage controller module, module cable, and the storage controller battery.

Install the storage sled in the enclosure.

If the storage controller module functions properly, close the drive drawer.

If the storage controller module does not function properly, log in to the CMC web interface and view the properties of the storage

controller. For more information, see the CMC User's Guide at dell.com/esmmanuals.

If the problem is not resolved, see

For a list of event and error messages generated by the system firmware and agents that monitor system components, see the Dell Event

and Error Messages Reference Guide at dell.com/esmmanuals.

A warning message alerts you to a possible problem and prompts you to respond before the system continues a task. For example, before

you format a hard drive, a message warns you that you may lose all data on the hard drive. Warning messages usually interrupt the task and

require you to respond by typing y (yes) or n (no).

NOTE:

Warning messages are generated by either the application or the operating system. For more information, see the

documentation that accompanied the operating system or application.
