Hardware Trouble Indicators

Indications that a module has a hardware problem include the following:
• Failure to power up
• Noisy fans
• Loss of network connectivity
• Battery, temperature, voltage, or power monitoring sensor alerts
• Hard drive failures
• USB media failure
• Physical damage caused by dropping, water, or other external stress
When these kinds of problems occur, you can try to correct the problem
using these strategies:
• Reseat the module and restart it
• Try inserting the module into a different bay in the chassis

• Reconnect or replace the power and network cables
