Are all of the circuit cards installed securely in the system?

Are all of the cables securely connected to the correct connectors? Be sure

that the FC cables that attach from the HBA connectors to the device are

connected correctly. For example, the optical transmit connector on the HBA

must be connected to the optical receive connector on the device. Some

connectors require a firm push to ensure proper seating. An easy way to check

for correct seating is to switch the connectors on either the HBA or the device,

then reboot the system.

Is the HBA installed correctly in the PCI slot? Is it seated firmly in the slot?

Check for interference due to nonstandard PCI connectors.

Is the data rate setting correct? Refer to

setting the data rate.

Are all external peripherals properly powered up? Refer to

information about displaying attached devices.
