This section is used for troubleshooting when the shelf fault indicator is lit but no other fault indicators are lit. When the PowerVault 660F or 224F is first turned on, the unit performs a power-on- self-test (POST), which checks all the components. During POST, all of the indicators for each hard-disk drive blink briefly. The green online indicators turn off for a short time, then turn back on, and then remain illuminated. The green ready indicator flashes slowl

This section is used for troubleshooting when the shelf fault indicator is lit and a hard- disk drive is indicating a drive failure flash pattern. A PowerVault 660F or 224F contains up to 14 Fibre Channel hard-disk drives. All slots not occupied by a hard-disk drive must have a drive carrier blank panel to ensure proper airflow. The blanks have no LED indicators. If a hard-disk drive’s status is normal, either both green LEDs are on, or the

The Dell Fibre Disk RAID Controllers perform the RAID function for your Fibre Channel system. The system may contain one or two Dell Fibre Disk RAID controllers. When facing the rear of the system, RAID controller 0 is on the right side and RAID control- ler 1 is on the left side. The DB 9 connectors on the Fibre Disk RAID Controller connect to the host or switch. The high-speed serial data connectors (HSSDCs) on the RAID controller connect to the daisy chain Fibre Channel loops for further

$ The I/O modules are the connection points for Fibre Channel loops. They contain a hub function so that when a daisy chain connection is not made, the Fibre Channel loop is automatically closed within the unit. When facing the rear of the system, I/O module 0 is on the right side and I/O module 1 is on the left side. I/O module 0 con- nects to Fibre Channel Loop A.

Yes. Replace the ACM(s) with the lit fault indicator as soon as possible. If a replacement ACM is not immediately available, the unit must be shut down to prevent overheating. See the Dell OpenManage Array Manager User's Guide for the proper procedure for shutting down the system without incurring data loss. No. Proceed to step 2. 2. Is a single fault indicator on a single ACM lighted? Yes. Replace the ACM with the lit fault indicator. The unit safely operates until the ACM is replaced. N
