Blade enclosure management link misconfiguration

[Miika T]

I have the following p-class equipment installed from bottom to up, p-class 1u power (power1), p-class enclosure (enclosure1), 1u power (power2) and p-class enclosure (enclosure2). The management link says that the topology is invalid (see attachment). I have used the blue "short" cat5 cables from power1/enclosure above - enclosure1/enclosure below - enclosure1/enclosure above - power2/enclosure below - power2/enclosure above - enclosure2/enclosure below.

If I look from the blade serial console, I can see 16 bays, but only 8 of the are valid, and the rest are not displaying any values.

Is the mangement link cable normal cat5 connected cable?

See attachment how you should see topology and how wiring should be done
Topology should be identical to enclosures physical positions

also firmware 2.30

Resetting power module 1 + unpluggin the link from power module 1 helped. I also noticed that power module 2 had firmware 2.20 compared to all others 2.30.
