MSA1500 : Fibre Bay Empty

Jansen_8 — Fri, 11 Oct 2013 11:13:45 GMT

Hi All,

I'm trying to configure a MSA1500. All went well except the fibre connection to the switch.

The Display of the MS1500 reads:

PG00 Reports (could also be PF Reports)

Fibre Bay Empty

On the fibre-unit the two leds just above the fibre-cable flicker on/off. The colour is amber.

The optical-switch indicates that the is no "light" on the line.

I already replaced the whole optical unit of the MSA1500 with a spare one, but the results were the same.

What dis I miss??

Regards

Jouk

Just realised what I did not try : Swapping the controller to the other slot solved the problem.

I wonder how this machine functioned with his former owner.....

Do you have a single controller (in front) only?

Is this now in the left or right slot?

Do you have 2 FC connectors at the rear?

one controller in the right slot. (in the left slot gave the problem.

Only one fiiber connection for output.
