Description: The cooling fan located in the external storage unit has failed. Action: Replace the fan. Storage Enclosure on SCSI Bus X Indicated that the Fan is Degraded... ...SOLUTION: this condition usually occurs on enclosures with multiple fans and one of those fans has failed. Replace any fans not operating properly. Description: One or more fans in the external storage unit have failed. Action: Replace the failed fans. Storage Enclosure on SCSI Bus X Indicated that the Fan Module is Unplugged... ...SOLUTION: Make sure the fan module is properly connected. Description: A fan in the external storage unit is not connected properly. Action: Check and reseat all fan connections securely. Storage Enclosure on SCSI Bus X - Wide SCSI Transfer Failed... ...SOLUTION: This may indicate a bad SCSI cable on bus X. Try replacing the cable. Description: A cable on bus X has failed. Action: 1. Replace the failed cable. 2. If the problem persists, contact an authorized service provider. Swapped cables or configuration error detected. A configured array of drives... ...was moved from another controller that supported more drives than this controller supports. SOLUTION: Upgrade the firmware on this controller. If this doesn't solve the problem, then power down system and move the drives back to the original controller. Description: You have exceeded the maximum number of drives supported for this controller, and the connected controller was not part of the original array configuration. Action: 1. Update the controller to the latest firmware version ("Firmware maintenance" on page 80). 2. If the problem persists: Replace this controller with the original controller. or Replace this controller with a new controller that supports the number of drives in the array. Swapped Cables or Configuration Error Detected. A Drive Rearrangement... ...was attempted while an expand operation was running. This is an unsupported operation. SOLUTION: Power down system then move drives back to their original location. Power on system and wait for the expand operation to complete before attempting a drive rearrangement. Description: One or more drive locations were changed while an expand operation was in progress. Action: 1. Power down the server. Error messages 106

Description

: The cooling fan located in the external storage unit has failed.

Action

: Replace the fan.

Storage Enclosure on SCSI Bus X Indicated that the Fan is Degraded...

...SOLUTION: this condition usually occurs on enclosures with multiple fans and one of those fans has failed.

Replace any fans not operating properly.

Description

: One or more fans in the external storage unit have failed.

Action

: Replace the failed fans.

Storage Enclosure on SCSI Bus X Indicated that the Fan Module is Unplugged...

...SOLUTION: Make sure the fan module is properly connected.

Description

: A fan in the external storage unit is not connected properly.

Action

: Check and reseat all fan connections securely.

Storage Enclosure on SCSI Bus X - Wide SCSI Transfer Failed...

...SOLUTION: This may indicate a bad SCSI cable on bus X. Try replacing the cable.

Description

: A cable on bus X has failed.

Action

Replace the failed cable.

If the problem persists, contact an authorized service provider.

Swapped cables or configuration error detected. A configured array of drives...

...was moved from another controller that supported more drives than this controller supports.

SOLUTION: Upgrade the firmware on this controller. If this doesn’t solve the problem, then power down system and

move the drives back to the original controller.

Description

: You have exceeded the maximum number of drives supported for this controller, and the

connected controller was not part of the original array configuration.

Action

Update the controller to the latest firmware version ("

Firmware maintenance

" on page

If the problem persists:

Replace this controller with the original controller.

Replace this controller with a new controller that supports the number of drives in the array.

Swapped Cables or Configuration Error Detected. A Drive Rearrangement...

...was attempted while an expand operation was running. This is an unsupported operation.

SOLUTION: Power down system then move drives back to their original location. Power on system and wait for the

expand operation to complete before attempting a drive rearrangement.

Description

: One or more drive locations were changed while an expand operation was in progress.

Action

Power down the server.
