Loose connections

Action:

• Be sure all power cords are securely connected.
• Be sure all cables are properly aligned and securely connected for all external and internal components.
• Remove and check all data and power cables for damage. Be sure no cables have bent pins or damaged connectors.
• If a fixed cable tray is available for the server, be sure the cords and cables connected to the server are routed correctly through the tray.
• Be sure each device is properly seated. Avoid bending or flexing circuit boards when reseating components.
• If a device has latches, be sure they are completely closed and locked.
• Check any interlock or interconnect LEDs that may indicate a component is not connected properly.
• If problems continue to occur, remove and reinstall each device, checking the connectors and sockets for bent pins or other damage.
