At least one canister must be active, with no fault LED on, and all the serial-attached SCSI (SAS) port 1 LEDs must be on. For details about the LED status, see the troubleshooting procedure about understanding system status using the LEDs.
- Verify that the SAS cabling to the expansion enclosure is correctly installed. To review the requirements, see the troubleshooting problem description about SAS cabling that is not valid.
