Validating FSP, UPIC, and SMP cables in the 9080-M9S system at the FSP standby state

You can verify whether the flexible service processor (FSP) cables, universal power interconnect (UPIC), and symmetric multiprocessing (SMP) cables are plugged correctly and can be detected.

To validate the cables, complete the following steps:
  1. On the ASMI Welcome pane, specify your user ID and password, and click Log In.
  2. In the navigation area, expand System Service Aids > Cable Plugging Validation. Then click Validate Cables. The system verifies that the cables that are connected are present.
  3. If your configuration includes two or more nodes, expand System Service Aids > Cable Plugging Validation. Then, click Verify Node Position. If the system is cabled correctly, the blue identify LED on each system node is lit in a sequence, from the top node to the bottom node. If the LEDs are not lit in a sequence, the FSP cables must to be re-installed. Otherwise, if your configuration includes only one node, go to the next step.
    Note: You must follow the step only during the initial system installation process.
  4. Expand System Service Aids > Cable Plugging Validation. Then, select All of the above in the Display Cable Status section and click Continue. The system validates that the cables are installed in the correct locations. Expand System Service Aids > Cable Plugging Validation to display a table with the results. Ensure that the plugging status displays OK for each cable in the displayed table. If the status displays OK, no further action is required. If the status does not display OK, review the error logs, correct the problems, and repeat steps 2, 3, and 4 as needed until the status is OK for all cables.
