Troubleshooting

If you have any problems with your system, please check the following items prior to

calling for support. For detailed troubleshooting procedures, see the Service Manual.

User Port Troubleshooting

C/Ports

Red link status indicator on PC Blade and C/Port

Check cables for correct pin-out, which is the same as for standard Ethernet over

CAT5 cable. Check that all wire pairs are terminated properly.

Pin 1 and 2 are pairs

Pin 3 and 6 are pairs

Pin 4 and 5 are pairs

Pin 7 and 8 are pairs

Check the back edge of the PC Blade for any debris that may be causing

incomplete contact between the Blade and the connectors in the Cage.

Check for debris on all RJ-45 jacks.

Certify the cable with a cable analyzer.

For a dual processor PC Blade, verify the C/Port cable is plugged into the even

numbered port (e.g., for a PC Blade installed in Cage slots 3 and 4, the C/Port

cable should be plugged into port 4).

No link status indicator light

Troubleshooting procedure is the same as above.

No ethernet link light

For model R1200 and R2100 PC Blades, make sure the Ethernet cable is plugged

into a 10/100/1000 Mb/s port on your network switch.

Make sure the Ethernet port or the network switch is configured to match the

Ethernet speed capabilities of the PC Blade.

No power to PC Blade

Check the power button on the front of the PC Blade.

Verify that the power circuit to the Cage is operational.

Check all power strips, UPS, and extension cords to make sure they are in

working order.
