About your Dell PowerEdge FX2/FX2s 1 The Dell PowerEdge FX2/FX2s is a 2U enclosure that can support up to four half-width compute sleds, up to eight quarter-width 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.
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. Eight-bay chassis Refers to the PowerEdge FX2/FX2s enclosure configuration that supports up to eight quarter-width compute sleds.

Front panel features and indicators—PowerEdge FX2/FX2s Item Indicator, Button, or Connector 1 System identification button Icon Description The identification buttons on the front and back panels can be used to locate a particular system within a rack. When one of these buttons is pressed, the system status indicator on the back flashes until one of the buttons is pressed again.
Item Indicator, Button, or Connector Icon Description 4 KVM select button Enables you to map the KVM to the sleds. 5 Sleds PowerEdge FX2/FX2s supports up to: • • • • • four half-width compute sleds, or eight quarter-width compute sleds, or two full-width compute sleds, or four quarter-width compute sleds and two half-width compute sleds, or one full-width compute sled and up to two half-width compute sleds NOTE: PowerEdge FX2s supports a combination of compute and storage sleds.
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. If the problem persists, see Getting Help.
Powering off the chassis and sleds For a graceful shutdown of all the sleds and the chassis, press and hold the chassis power button for 4 to 10 seconds and release it. NOTE: Depending on the status of the sleds, graceful shutdown may not be possible. You may opt for a forced shutdown by pressing and holding the chassis power button for more than 10 seconds. KVM features • Local KVM access can be remotely disabled on the enclosure by using the CMC interface.

Back panel features and indicators—PowerEdge FX2 Item Indicator, Button, or Connector Description 1 Serial connector DB-9 serial connector for CMC configuration. 2 Ethernet connector Gb1 Connects the network cable from the management system to the CMC. 3 Ethernet connector STK/Gb2 (stack) Used for daisy-chaining CMCs in separate enclosures. 4 NOTE: This port can also be used for CMC NIC failover.
Item Indicator, Button, or Connector Description 8 I/O module (2) Provides Ethernet connectivity to the compute sleds in the enclosure. 9 I/O module ports Network interface for I/O modules. 10 I/O module indicators Two indicators for: • • Status Power Power supply unit indicators Each AC power supply unit (PSU) has an illuminated translucent handle that serves as an indicator to show whether power is present or whether a power fault has occurred.
Convent Power indicator ion pattern Condition CAUTION: When correcting a PSU mismatch, replace only the PSU with the flashing indicator. Swapping the opposite PSU to make a matched pair can result in an error condition and unexpected system shutdown. To change from 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.
Indicator Description Status indicator Blue The I/O module is operating normally. 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.
– Supports setting an optional enclosure Maximum Power Limit, which either alerts or takes actions, such as throttling compute sleds and/or preventing the power up of new compute sleds to keep the enclosure under the defined maximum power limit. – Monitors and automatically controls cooling fans based on actual ambient and internal temperature measurements. – Provides comprehensive enclosure inventory and status or error reporting.

Initial system configuration 2 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). • Download the latest version of CMC firmware from dell.com/support.
• 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.

Troubleshooting your system 5 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.
Troubleshooting expansion cards 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. Damage due to servicing that is not authorized by Dell is not covered by your warranty. Read and follow the safety instructions that came with the product.
Steps 1. Check that the pass-through module or switch ports are cabled correctly. 2. Ensure that the network daughter cards/LOM cards on the sleds are mapped to the I/O module. 3.
