General Checkout Fibre Channel Adapter (FRU 01K7354)

There are three basic types of problems that can cause the adapter to function incorrectly:

•  Hardware problems
•  System configuration problems
•  Fibre Channel problems

Hardware Problems

The following is an itemized list to help you determine if a problem is caused by the hardware:

•  Are all of the adapters installed securely in the computer?
•  Are all of the cables connected securely to the correct connectors?  Be sure that the SC connectors that attach from the J1 connector on  the adapter to the device are connected correctly.
•  Is the adapter installed correctly in the expansion slot?  Is it seated firmly in the slot?
•  Are all peripheral devices properly powered on? See Scan Fibre Channel Devices  for information about displaying attached devices.

System Configuration Problems

To find out if a problem was caused by system configuration, check the system board to make sure it is configured properly (see Installation Procedures).

Fibre Channel Problems

To verify if a problem is caused by the Fibre Channel, determine if all of the FC devices were powered on before you powered on the server.
