Troubleshooting power supply modules

How to troubleshoot the power supply modules.

Procedure

  1. View sensor status.
    • From the CLI, run the show sensors-other command.
    • In the GUI search field, enter Sensors and click Other Sensors.
  2. Check whether the power supply model LED is red or flashing red or is not illuminated.
    If red or flashing red, a problem could exist. If not illuminated, the module is not correctly connected to a power source.
  3. Remove the power cord from the power supply module. The appliance can operate with a single power supply module.

What to do next

If the module is not seated correctly, generally it is not locked in place. To ensure that the module is seated, remove and reinsert the module.

If the module has no AC power, ensure that the power cords are connected to the power supply and to a working AC power outlet.

If you believe that the module must be replaced, contact IBM® Support.
