Adaptec Fibre Card 9210LP User’s Reference
Troubleshooting
The following tips are general troubleshooting procedures:
■ Check that the card is seated evenly all the way into the PCI
slot.
■ Check motherboard system documentation to ensure that Bus
Mastering support is provided and enabled for the PCI slot
containing the Adaptec Fibre Card 9210LP.
■ Check that the SFP is seated correctly into the adapter.
■ Check that the cable is inserted all the way into the SFP.
■ Check that the cable is inserted all the way into the HSSDC.
■ Check that all peripherals are connected correctly throughout
the loop. Peripherals with intermittent connections can cause
long OS initialization during power on. Remove suspect
peripheral from loop.
■ Check the LED lights. The PWR/ACT LED turns on at power
up, and flashes after the card is initialized. The LNK LED
indicates that the link is up. For more information on verifying
the adapter card, see Verifying the Adapter on page 10.
■ If using cascading hubs, use the same hub vendor.
■ Verify that at least one device in the loop is powered up if you
are not using a hub or switch. Hubs or switches detect devices
that are not powered up and automatically do a port bypass.
■ Check that a switch is not attached to the channel port with the
intended Boot device. If a switch is present and attached, the
BIOS will not boot.
■ Check the troubleshooting section of your operating system
user manual.
