Many configuration problems are caused by loose power or signal
cables or incorrectly seated adapters. You might be able to solve the
problem by turning off the server, reconnecting cables, reseating
adapters, and turning the server back on. See the Installation and User
Guide for the instructions to perform the checkout procedures.
If the problem is associated with a specific function (for example, if a
RAID hard disk drive is marked offline in the RAID array), see the
documentation for the associated controller and management or
controlling software to verify that the controller is correctly configured.
Problem determination information is available for many devices such as
RAID and network adapters.

light path diagnostics LEDs. See the Installation and User Guide for more
information.
Troubleshooting procedures are also provided on the Lenovo Web site. A
single problem might cause multiple symptoms. Follow the diagnostic
procedure for the most obvious symptom. If that procedure does not
