4. Remove expansion cable and inspect for damage.
5. Reseat the expansion cable.
Is the expansion port status LED on?
● Yes – Monitor the status to ensure that there is no intermittent error present. If the fault occurs again, clean the
connections to ensure that a dirty connector is not interfering with the data path.
● No – Proceed to the next step.
6. Move the expansion cable to a port on the controller enclosure with a known good link status.
This step isolates the problem to the expansion cable or to the controller module expansion port.
Is the expansion port status LED on?
● Yes – You now know that the expansion cable is good. Return the cable to the original port. If the expansion port status
LED remains off, you have isolated the fault to the controller module expansion port. Replace the controller module.
● No – Proceed to the next step.
7. Move the expansion cable back to the original port on the controller enclosure.
8. Move the expansion cable on the expansion enclosure to a known good port on the expansion enclosure.
Is the host link status LED on?
● Yes – You have isolated the problem to the expansion enclosure port. Replace the IOM in the expansion enclosure.
● No – Proceed to the next step.
9. Replace the cable with a known good cable, ensuring the cable is attached to the original ports used by the previous cable.
Is the host link status LED on?
● Yes – Replace the original cable. The fault has been isolated.
● No – It is likely that the controller module must be replaced.
