Resetting I/O Blade Ports

Resetting individual I/O blade ports can help troubleshoot I/O blade issues.

Resetting an I/O blade port will disrupt any ongoing communication to the port.

NOTE: This operation should not be performed concurrently by multiple administrators logged in from different locations. You can access the appropriate screens, but you cannot apply changes while another administrator is performing the same operation.

You need administrator privileges to reset I/O blade ports.

  1. From the Setup menu, select I/O Blades > Blade Control.

    The Setup - Blade Control screen displays. The screen lists all the I/O blades found in the library.

  2. Identify the I/O blade port you want to reset.
  3. NOTE: Before resetting I/O blade ports, verify the location of the I/O blade. See Identifying I/O Blades for more information.

  4. Click a port button.
  5. Click OK to acknowledge the warning message about communication loss.
  6. The Progress Window displays. The Progress Window contains information on the action, elapsed time, and status of the requested operation.
