1 About your Dell PowerEdge FX2/FX2s The Dell PowerEdge FX2/FX2s is a 2U enclosure that can support up to four half-width compute sleds, up to eight quarterwidth compute sleds, up to two full-width compute sleds, or a mix of compute sled types. The PowerEdge FX2s enclosure also supports half-width storage sleds mapped to the compute sleds. NOTE: For information on mapping configurations from storage sleds to compute sleds in the PowerEdge FX2s enclosure, see the Dell PowerEdge FD332 Owner’s Manual at Dell.
Table 1. Terms used in the document (continued) Term Description Four-bay chassis Refers to the PowerEdge FX2/FX2s enclosure configuration that supports up to four half-width compute sleds. NOTE: In PowerEdge FX2s, the four-bay chassis configuration supports a combination of half-width compute and storage sleds. It supports a maximum of three storage sleds mapped to a compute sled.

When one of these buttons is pressed, the system status indicator on the back flashes until one of the buttons is pressed again. Press to toggle the system ID on and off.
Table 3. Diagnostic indicators (continued) Health indicator Electrical indicator Condition Corrective Action The indicator blinks amber if the system experiences an electrical error (for example, voltage out of range, or a failed power supply or voltage regulator). See the CMC Chassis Log or system messages for the specific issue. If it is due to a problem with the power supply, check the LED on the power supply. Reseat the power supply by removing and reinstalling it.

Table 5. PSU indicators (continued) Conventio Power indicator n pattern Condition a High Output configuration to a Low Output configuration or vice versa, you must power down the system. CAUTION: AC power supplies support both 220 V and 110 V input voltages. When two identical power supplies receive different input voltages, they can output different wattages, and trigger a mismatch. CAUTION: All power supplies used must be of the same type and have the same maximum output power.
Status indicator pattern Description Blinking Blue The CMC is identifying the I/O module. Blinking Amber The I/O module is in a fault condition. Off The I/O module is powered off, or booting is in progress. For more information, see the I/O module documentation at Dell.com/poweredgemanuals. CMC module Figure 12. CMC module 1.

2 Initial system configuration Topics: • • • Before you begin Setting up your PowerEdge FX2/FX2s Logging in to the CMC Before you begin CAUTION: The enclosure power supplies must be connected to a PDU or to an electrical outlet. The power supplies require a 100 V to 120 V or 200 V to 240 V power source. You can select only one AC power input, as the system does not operate at both ranges simultaneously. ● If applicable, update all PCIe card firmware and iDRAC firmware on the compute sled(s).
● Connect to one of the compute sleds and boot to the Human Interface Infrastructure (HII) browser to retrieve the CMC IP address. 10. Connect to the CMC IP address through the Web browser by using the default logon credentials. NOTE: The default IP address of the CMC is 192.168.0.120. The default user name is root and password is calvin. 11. Provide each iDRAC with an IP address in the CMC Web interface. 12. Connect to each iDRAC by using a Web browser and type the final configuration of iDRAC.
3 PowerEdge FX2/FX2s mapping configurations This section provides the following information on the connectivity of the compute sleds to the I/O module(s), PCIe slots, and Chassis Management Controller (CMC) of the enclosure: ● LAN On Motherboard network and compute sled to I/O module port mapping configurations ● Expansion Bus and compute sled to PCIe expansion slot mapping configurations ● Internal management network NOTE: The I/O module port mapping and PCIe slot mapping from compute sleds are pre-configu
I/O module port mapping—four-bay chassis The following I/O module port mapping options are available on the four-bay chassis configuration that supports up to four half-width compute sleds. NOTE: In the four-bay PowerEdge FX2s configurations that support storage sleds mapped to compute sled(s), the I/O module ports are mapped only to the compute sled(s). If storage sleds are installed, the corresponding ports on the I/O modules mapping to these slots are not active. Figure 16.

Figure 18.
NOTE: In the six-bay PowerEdge FX2s configuration that supports storage sleds mapped to quarter-width compute sleds, the I/O module ports are mapped only to the compute sleds. If storage sleds are installed, the corresponding ports on the I/O modules mapped to these slots are not active. Figure 19. I/O module port mapping—six-bay chassis The following table lists the compute sleds and the ports to which they are mapped. Table 10.

In the three-bay chassis, a full-width compute sled is mapped to four ports on each I/O module.
● To enable switch configuration before imaging the compute sleds, you must allow the I/O module(s) to power up before turning on the compute sleds. ● Each half-width and quarter-width compute sled installed in the PowerEdge FX2s enclosure supports one PCIe mezzanine card. Each full-width compute sled supports two PCIe mezzanine cards. To locate the PCIe expansion bus slots in the compute sleds, see the relevant compute sled Owner's Manual at Dell.com/poweredgemanuals.
● Three-bay chassis—The full-width compute sled is mapped to four PCIe slots. Each half-width compute sled is mapped to two PCIe slots. Figure 22. Compute sled to PCIe slot mapping—four-bay chassis Figure 23. Compute sled to PCIe slot mapping—eight-bay chassis Figure 24.

Compute sled to PCIe slot mapping—three-bay chassis PCIe slot mapping from compute sleds mapped to storage sleds In PowerEdge FX2s enclosure configurations that support storage sleds mapped to compute sleds, the PCIe slots map only to the compute sleds. When storage sleds are installed in the enclosure, the PCIe slots mapped to these bays are automatically reassigned to the compute sleds installed in the upper bays of the enclosure.

5 Troubleshooting your system NOTE: This chapter provides troubleshooting information for the PowerEdge FX2 and FX2s enclosures only. For troubleshooting information on the sleds, see the sled documentation at Dell.com/poweredgemanuals. Safety first—for you and your system CAUTION: Many repairs may only be done by a certified service technician.
If the tests fail, see Getting Help. Troubleshooting enclosure components The following procedures describe how to troubleshoot the enclosure components. Troubleshooting a wet enclosure Prerequisites CAUTION: Many repairs may only be done by a certified service technician. You should only perform troubleshooting and simple repairs as authorized in your product documentation, or as directed by the online or telephone service and support team.
NOTE: After installing a PSU, allow several seconds for the system to recognize the PSU and determine whether it is working properly. 3. If the problem is not resolved, swap or replace the PSU with a known good PSU. 4. If none of the power supplies show a fault LED and the sleds do not power on, check the CMC for status messages. For more information, see the Dell PowerEdge FX2 CMC User’s Guide at Dell.com/esmmanuals. 5. If the problem persists, see Getting Help.
3. Reseat the fan. 4. If the fan functions properly, close the system. 5. If the fan is faulty, install a new fan. 6. Close the system. If the replacement fan does not operate, see Getting Help. Troubleshooting expansion cards Prerequisites CAUTION: Many repairs may only be done by a certified service technician.
