Operating the SAN Director 2/128 Troubleshooting the SAN Director 2/128 Table 14 provides a list of issues, possible causes, and recommended actions. Table 14: Troubleshooting the SAN Director 2/128 Issue Entire chassis powers off automatically. Several or all components are not operating. Serial connection is faulty or serial port logs have incorrect or missing information. Possible Cause Power supplies are inadequate to support the installed components. One or both power cables may not be connected to a live source. One or both AC power switches might be off. Serial cable is not connected correctly. Terminal emulator application parameters are not set correctly. Serial port might be incompatible (only RS-232 is supported). Pins on the serial cable or serial port might be damaged. Recommended Action Add an additional power supply. Ensure that both power cables are connected to live outlets. Ensure that both AC power switches are on (AC switches light up green when on). Ensure that the cable is firmly connected to workstation computer and to the SAN Director 2/128. Ensure that the terminal emulator application is configured as follows: 9600 bits per second, 8 databits, no parity, 1 stop bit, no flow control. Ensure that the SAN Director 2/128 is connected to an RS-232 port. RS-423 serial ports might experience difficulties due to corner-case incompatibilities of the standards. Remove the cable and inspect the pins on the cable and in the serial port. Do not reinstall if the pins on either component have any visible damage, as this could damage the pins on the other component. Replace components as required.

Troubleshooting the SAN Director 2/128
Table 14
provides a list of issues, possible causes, and recommended actions.
Table 14:
Troubleshooting the SAN Director 2/128
Issue
Possible Cause
Recommended Action
Entire chassis powers off
automatically.
Power supplies are inadequate
to support the installed
components.
Add an additional power supply.
Several or all
components are not
operating.
One or both power cables may
not be connected to a live
source.
Ensure that both power cables are
connected to live outlets.
One or both AC power
switches might be off.
Ensure that both AC power switches
are on (AC switches light up green
when on).
Serial connection is
faulty or serial port logs
have incorrect or
missing information.
Serial cable is not connected
correctly.
Ensure that the cable is firmly
connected to workstation computer
and to the SAN Director 2/128.
Terminal emulator application
parameters are not set
correctly.
Ensure that the terminal emulator
application is configured as follows:
9600 bits per second, 8 databits, no
parity, 1 stop bit, no flow control.
Serial port might be
incompatible (only RS-232 is
supported).
Ensure that the SAN Director 2/128
is connected to an RS-232 port.
RS-423 serial ports might
experience difficulties due to
corner-case incompatibilities of the
standards.
Pins on the serial cable or
serial port might be damaged.
Remove the cable and inspect the
pins on the cable and in the serial
port. Do not reinstall if the pins on
either component have any visible
damage, as this could damage the
pins on the other component.
Replace components as required.
