I/O expansion blade information

Selecting a specific I/O expansion blade displays the Device Bay Information—Bay xx page, where xx is the bay selected. Information provided on this screen includes tabs for Status, Information, and Virtual Devices.

Status tab

Status information

Row

Description

Status

The overall status of the blade. Possible values are Unknown, OK, Degraded, or Failed

Powered

The power state of the blade. Possible values are On or Off

Power Allocated

The amount of power allocated to the blade in watts.

Partner Device

The server blade the I/O expansion blade is partnered with

The information in the status information table is current as of the last download. Click Refresh to update the status information.

Diagnostic information

Diagnostic information is gathered by polling a device microcontroller (resulting in a degraded status if a failure has occurred) or is sent by the device microcontroller, without being polled to report a failure.

Row

Description

Device Identification Data

Information such as model name, part number, serial number, and other information used to identify the device is checked. This data is also referred to as FRU data. If the data is not present or not readable by the Onboard Administrator, a device identification data error displays. Possible values are OK or Error.

Management Processor

Status of the iLO. Possible values are OK or Error.

I/O Configuration

Device bay configuration is incorrect. If a storage blade is partnered with a full-height server blade and the server blade does not have the correct mezzanine card, then an invalid I/O configuration results. Possible values are OK or I/O mismatch detected.

Power Allocation Request

There is insufficient power to adequately power this blade. Possible values are OK or Insufficient enclosure power.

Cooling

There is an insufficient number of fans to properly cool this server blade, or the fan configuration is incorrect. Possible values are OK or Insufficient fans for enclosure cooling.

Device Location

The I/O blade is in the wrong slot in the enclosure according to the current fan configuration. Possible values are OK or Incorrect location for proper device cooling.

Device Operational

Device has failed. Status was not requested by the Onboard Administrator. Possible values are OK or Error

Device Degraded

Device has failed. Status was requested by the Onboard Administrator. Possible values are OK or Error

Partner Device Presence

The I/O expansion blade has a partner server. It must have a server next to it in the proper configuration. Possible values are OK or No adjacent partner found.

Power Sequence

The I/O expansion blade must always be powered up first. If an I/O expansion blade is inserted next to a server blade that is already powered up, it is denied power. The server blade must be powered down so the I/O expansion blade can power up, and then the server blade can be powered up again. Possible values are OK or Potential partner device is already ON.

Partner Device Link

Possible values are OK or Inappropriate device in adjacent bay. This information does not display if the server blade is not partnered with a storage/expansion blade.

Temperature sensors
