225.0. "FAN led on; SRVRMR error message???" by VELENO::MICHIELI (Is IBM DEClining?) Tue May 13 1997 16:24

    Hiall,
    a quite urgent customer's request.
    
    There are 10 DMCC 13 slots with K2/UNIX. All of these shown the red LED
    of the fan at the first power up. It disapper if switched off and on in
    a few seconds.
    
    Q1: Is this HW or SW problem? What to check?
    
    I get the following message during startup on a couple of systems:
    
    ...
    Alpha 21064A/266MHz CPU 64MB Memory 2MB Backup Cache : 10 PCI-slots backplane 
    SRVRMGR - Power Supply 1 failed or not available
    ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
    
    Q2: Again, HW or SW? (I think that at least the ONLY ONE power supply
    should be working!!)
    
    Regards,
     Gabriele. TOEM FAE, Roma - Italy

Gabriele,

The warning message 

	SRVRMGR - Power Supply 1 failed or not available

will be displayed if you're system meets one of the following

o	the power supply in the enclosure does NOT have a PSU sense
	connector

o	the power supply DOES have a PSU sense connector but it isn't
	plugged into the backplane

o	the power supply does have a PSU sense connector , it is plugged
	into the backplane, but the cabling from the backplane to the SBC
	has not been wired properly.

The fan warning LED is a known problem which is being worked on. All FAE's
should have been notified about the problem. A resoultion will be implemented
via a formal ECO this month.
