The management GUI may show an error "Component Unfit" for a compute module, storage module, or Ethernet module; usually after a firmware update. "Component Unfit" means the updating failed for the listed component. The table below lists some common causes and solutions.
| Component |
Solution |
| SCM (Storage Control Module) |
Physically remove and reinsert the affected module. If the issue persists:
- Power off each compute module
- Remove the power cords from the chassis
- Eject all hard drives. It is not necessary to fully remove them from the drive bay; just ensure they are disconnected from the drive backplane
- Plug in the chassis power cords
- If the SCM now functions correctly, repeat steps 1 and 2, reinsert all hard drives, then plug in the chassis power cords.
- If the SCM still shows the issue, see the instructions below this table for retrieving a diagnostic file and contacting support
|
| Compute Module |
Outdated network driver: Update the network driver for the MFS5000SI or the MFS5520VI or MFS2600KI |
| Compute Module |
Unsupported hard drives: Verify your hard drives are on the tested list |
| Compute Module |
Unsupported OS: Verify your operating system is supported |
| Compute Module |
Unsupported memory: Verify the memory is tested for the MFS5000SI or the MFS5520VI or MFS2600KI |
| Compute Module |
Other: Physically remove and reinsert the affected module. If the issue persists, clear the CMOS and enable the BIOS Recovery jumper. Instructions are in the Technical Product Specification |
| Compute Module |
Fails during firmware update: Connect a local USB keyboard, mouse, and monitor. Make sure EFI is the primary boot option.

Dual Ethernet switches installed, and admin link enabled:
From the CMM GUI, choose System | Switches | Advanced Configuration
Mouse over any port and choose Port Configuration
Select Port | 10G.XC | Admin Status | Down
and Port | 10G.SC | Admin Status | Down |
| Other component |
Reset the CMM |
| Other component becomes Unfit after firmware upgrade |
Review the installation instructions. Often there are specific directions to follow. | |
If the issue persists, retrieve the diagnostic file from the CMM GUI
