Troubleshooting EMMs
Use these steps to troubleshoot Enclosure Management Modules (EMMs).
1. Check the status of the EMM using the Dell Storage Client.
2. Check the pins and reseat the EMM.
a. Remove the EMM.
b. Verify that the pins on the backplane and the EMM are not bent. If any pins are bent, do not
attempt to correct them, instead, contact Dell Technical Support Services for further instruction.
c. Reinstall the EMM.
3. Determine the status of the EMM power and fault LEDs. If the fault LED is lit, the EMM has failed.
4. Verify link status. If the link status LEDs are not green, check the cables.
a. Reseat the cables on the expansion enclosure and storage system.
b. Recheck the link status LEDs. If the link status LEDs are not green, replace the cables.
5. Reseat the EMM by removing and reinstalling it.
NOTE: Allow several seconds for the expansion enclosure to recognize the EMM and determine
its status.
