Front-Panel Display When Push Buttons Are Pressed - IBM 2145-8F2 Hardware Installation Manual

This task shows you how to verify the installation after you install the SAN
Volume Controller in the rack and connect it to the uninterruptible power supply,
the storage area network (SAN), and the Ethernet.
Note: If at any point the SAN Volume Controller does not operate as described,
see MAP 5000 in the IBM System Storage SAN Volume Controller
Troubleshooting Guide, unless a different maintenance analysis procedure
(MAP) is specified.
Perform the following steps to verify installation:
1. Press the SAN Volume Controller power-control button. Because the button is
recessed, you might need a pointed device, such as a screwdriver, to press the
power-control button. Verify that the green power LED is lit. If the LED is not
illuminated, see MAP 5000: Start in the IBM System Storage SAN Volume
Controller Troubleshooting Guide to repair the problem.
Note: You do not need to install any software. The node boots automatically.
Verify that the node is booting without error. If it boots without error, either
the Charging, Recovering, or the Cluster: message is displayed in the first
line of the front-panel display.
2. Press and hold the select button for five seconds. The check light comes on
and a display test is performed. Check that all display cells light and that a
bar scrolls horizontally and vertically across the display. When the display test
is complete, the check light goes off and a button test is started.
3. Press the up, down, left, and right buttons to verify that they are working.
Figure 49 shows four examples of what the front panel should display when
you press the buttons. After you finish testing the buttons, press and hold the
select button for five seconds to exit the test.

4. If the Charging or Recovering message is displayed on the front-panel display,
press the select button to switch to the menu. The menu continues to be
displayed while you press the buttons on the front panel. If you do not press
any buttons within 60 seconds, the menu changes to display the charging
progress. You can switch the front-panel display to the menu at any time by
pressing the select button again.
5. Press and release the up button or down button until the Node: option is
displayed on the first line of the front-panel display.
6. Verify that the node number that is displayed on the second line of the
front-panel display is the same as the node number that is printed on the
front panel of the node. Figure 50 on page 52 shows how the node number is
