4.2 Checking Cables and Connections
1. Be sure to power off the device(s) to which the connector is attached before removing it.
2. Observe both connectors on the ends of the cable. Ensure that pins are not broken, bent or
pushed in.
3. If a connector is damaged, replace it and power on the device(s).
4. Ensure that the connector is securely fastened to the device(s). A loose connection can
cause termination problems.
5. Ensure that the cable length does not exceed the lengths recommended in Section 4.1.1 or 4.1.3.
6. If problems still exist, power off the device(s) and replace the cable.
4.3 Power LED Not Lit
This indicates that there is no power to the SCSI-FC Router.
1. Verify that the AC plug is connected to a working wall outlet and the other end is connected
to the SCSI-FC Router unit.
2. Ensure that the power switch is in the on position (1 represents on and 0 represents off).
See Figure 2-4 (Rear of SCSI-FC Router) for power switch location.
3. If LED is still not lit, then turn off unit and replace the power cable.
4. If LED is still not lit, then recycle the SCSI-FC Router’s power.
5. If LED is still not lit, then replace the SCSI-FC Router unit.
Go to Section 4.4 (Replacing a SCSI-FC Router).
6. After replacing the unit, if problems persist contact your SCSI-FC Router vendor.
4.4 Replacing a SCSI-FC Router
1. Power off the SCSI-FC Router being replaced. The SCSI-FC Router that will replace it should
also be powered off.
2. Set switch one and two (SW1 and SW2) on the new SCSI-FC Router to match the switch
settings on the (old) SCSI-FC Router that is being replaced.
3. Swap each of the old connections from the replacement (old) SCSI-FC Router to the new SCSI-
FC Router. Ensure that all cables and connector are securely fastened.
4. Clear the Node Mapping Table of the new SCSI-FC Router (see Section 3.1.2).
5. Power on the new SCSI-FC Router.
6. After the LEDs have finished blinking, the power LED (green) and status LED (green) should be
solid on and the fault LED (yellow) should be off. To locate the location of the LEDs, see Figure 2-3.
7. Replacement of the SCSI-FC Router is complete.
8. After replacing the unit and the problems persist, contact your SCSI-FC Router vendor.
4.5 Drive Removal and Replacement
• If any drive is removed from the configuration, the SCSI-FC Router will take approximately 5
seconds to update.
• If any drive is added to the configuration, the SCSI-FC Router will take approximately 2
minutes to update.
