Interface Manager card does not detect one or more FC interface controllers

Bad network connection

Verify that the Interface Manager card is properly connected to the FC interface controllers and

that the cables are good.

Use LEDs to troubleshoot Ethernet cabling.

See the HP StorageWorks ESL E-Series unpacking and installation guide for more information.

Incorrect interface controller, or controller has less than minimum required firmware

Make sure that the e2400-160 interface controller has lettering to the side of the ports. If

lettering is above or below the ports, then the wrong controller type was installed. Contact

your service provider.

NOTE:

If you have the wrong controller type, it might still work if the firmware level is at least 5.3.06, the

controller is set to DHCP, and its defaults are restored.

Update the firmware to version 5.6.78 or higher on an e2400–160 and e2400–FC 2G interface

controllers and version 5.7.1 on the e2400–FC 4G; then restore defaults on the interface controller.

Defective Interface Manager card or FC interface controller

Observe status and link LEDs. Replace defective card or controller.

Make sure the drive isn’t set to off.

Troubleshoot the drive.
