MAP 5400: Front panel

MAP 5400: Front panel helps you to solve problems that have occurred on the front panel.

Before you begin

If you are not familiar with these maintenance analysis procedures (MAPs), first read Using the maintenance analysis procedures.

This MAP applies to all IBM Spectrum Virtualize models. Be sure that you know which model you are using before you start this procedure. To determine which model you are working with, look for the label that identifies the model type on the front of the node.

You might have been sent here because:

A problem occurred during the installation of a IBM Spectrum Virtualize system, the front-panel display test failed, or the correct node number failed to be displayed

About this task

Perform the following steps:

Procedure

Is the power LED on the operator-information panel illuminated and showing a solid green?
NO

Continue with the power MAP. See MAP 5050: Power 2145-CG8 and 2145-CF8.

YES

Go to step 2.
(from step 1)
Is the service controller error light 1 that you see in Figure 1 illuminated and showing a solid amber?

NO

Start the front panel tests by pressing and holding the select button for five seconds. Go to step 3.
Attention: Do not start this test until the node is powered on for at least two minutes. You might receive unexpected results.

YES
The IBM Spectrum Virtualize service controller has failed.
- Replace the service controller.
- Verify the repair by continuing with MAP 5700: Repair verification.
(from step 2)
The front-panel check light illuminates and the display test of all display bits turns on for 3 seconds and then turns off for 3 seconds, then a vertical line travels from left to right, followed by a horizontal line travelling from top to bottom. The test completes with the switch test display of a single rectangle in the center of the display.
Did the front-panel lights and display operate as described?
NO
IBM Spectrum Virtualize front panel has failed its display test.
- Replace the service controller.
- Verify the repair by continuing with MAP 5700: Repair verification.
YES

Go to step 4.
(from step 3)
Figure 2 provides four examples of what the front-panel display shows before you press any button and then when you press the up button, the left and right buttons, and the select button. To perform the front panel switch test, press any button in any sequence or any combination. The display indicates which buttons you pressed.

Check each switch in turn. Did the service panel switches and display operate as described in Figure 2?
NO
The IBM Spectrum Virtualize front panel has failed its switch test.
- Replace the service controller.
- Verify the repair by continuing with MAP 5700: Repair verification.
YES

Press and hold the select button for five seconds to exit the test. Go to step 5.
Is the front-panel display now showing Cluster:?
NO

Continue with MAP 5000: Start.

YES

Keep pressing and releasing the down button until Node is displayed in line 1 of the menu screen. Go to step 6.
(from step 5)
Is this MAP being used as part of the installation of a new node?
NO

Front-panel tests have completed with no fault found. Verify the repair by continuing with MAP 5700: Repair verification.

YES

Go to step 7.
(from step 6)
Is the node number that is displayed in line 2 of the menu screen the same as the node number that is printed on the front panel of the node?
NO
Node number stored in front-panel electronics is not the same as that printed on the front panel.
- Replace the service controller.
- Verify the repair by continuing with MAP 5700: Repair verification.
YES

Front-panel tests have completed with no fault found. Verify the repair by continuing with MAP 5700: Repair verification.
