Verify Cabling
Once all the cabling is complete, you can
verify the cabling 2 ways:
1. In the RSA2 interface, during setup of
the partitions, will show any
disconnects of the cables within the
scalable complex as shown to the left.
2. Once the system complex is powered
on, look at the back of the system to
ensure all ports with scalability cables
connected have the green LED lit to
indicate a good link. Also, on the light
path panel, the “LINK” LED on the top
surface will be lit if any of the cables
are not connected correctly.
► Ports turn red when there is a problem with the port, it is marked offline, or the
cabling is incorrect
► The Port Number becomes a link
► Clicking on the link provides a pop up displaying the correct cable configuration
for that size complex
