Setup Procedure
Testing CSS Module Ring Connections
If the server is equipped with more than one CSS module, you are advised to perform a Ring
Test to check CSS module ring connections (clocks, XSP links, sidebands) before proceeding
to power up server domains.
Important:
• CSS Module Ring Connection testing is reserved for Customer Service Engineers. A
Customer Administrator and a Support Administrator PAM session must be opened to
perform the ring test.
• This test can only be performed on a mono-domain scheme containing ALL server
resources (e.g. the default factory scheme).
• This test does NOT check XSP data link functional status. XSP data link functional status is
checked during the Power-on sequence (Step 19: Global XSP links test).
• This test cannot be performed on mono-module servers.
To perform a ring test:
1. Display hardware functional status by pressing the Presence / Functional Status
toggle button in the PAM Status Pane. See Chapter 4. Monitoring the Server, in the User's
Guide for details.
2. From the Customer Administrator PAM Tree, click Domain Manager to open the Control
pane. A dialog box invites you to load the server domain.
3. Click Schemes. The Schemes List dialog opens displaying the pre-configured default
scheme.
4. Select the MyOperationScheme scheme and click Apply.
