Is the power supply’s Voltage/Fan Fault/Service Required LED amber?

Controller failure in a single-controller configuration

Cache memory is flushed to CompactFlash in the case of a controller failure or power loss. During the write

to CompactFlash process, only the components needed to write the cache to the CompactFlash are

powered by the super-capacitor. This process typically takes 60 seconds per 1 Gbyte of cache. After the

cache is copied to CompactFlash, the remaining power left in the super-capacitor is used to refresh the

cache memory. While the cache is being maintained by the super-capacitor, the Cache Status LED flashes

at a rate of 1/10 second off and 9/10 second on.

IMPORTANT:

Transportable cache only applies to single-controller configurations. In dual controller

configurations, there is no need to transport a failed controller’s cache to a replacement controller because

the cache is duplicated between the peer controllers.

Yes

The power supply unit or a fan

is operating at an

unacceptable voltage/RPM

level, or has failed.

When isolating faults in the power supply, remember that

the fans in both modules receive power through a

common bus on the midplane, so if a power supply unit

fails, the fans continue to operate normally.

Check that the power supply FRU is firmly locked into

position.

Check that the power cable is connected to a power

source.

Check that the power cable is connected to the power

supply module.
