Next button disabled

You are prompted to reinsert the USB flash drive into the personal computer. If you returned the USB flash drive to the personal computer but the Next button is disabled (grayed out), use these actions to enable the Next button. The Next button remains disabled until the initialization tool detects that the USB flash drive is reinserted into the personal computer.

About this task

After each step, return to the initialization wizard to check whether the Next button is enabled. If it is still disabled, continue with the next step in these instructions.
Note: Unless stated, complete all checks and actions on the personal computer that is running the initialization tool.
Use the following instructions to enable the Next button on the initialization wizard:

Procedure

  1. Ensure that you are on the panel in the wizard that indicates to reinsert the USB flash drive into the personal computer.
  2. Verify that the USB flash drive is fully inserted in the USB port on the personal computer by gently pushing it into the USB port.
  3. Verify that the USB flash drive is in the same USB port that you used when you started the initialization wizard. If it is not, move the USB flash drive to the correct USB port.
  4. On the rear of the enclosure, verify that the system status LED (This image represents the system status LED.) for the canister that you used during initialization is permanently on. The system status LED is located with the other LEDs on the node canister, as shown in Figure 1:

    This image shows the rear of the enclosure with canister LEDs highlighted.

    If the status LED is permanently on, proceed to 5. If the status LED is not permanently on, return to your personal computer and complete the following checks and actions:

    1. Remove the USB flash drive from the USB port.
    2. Reinsert the USB flash drive into the USB port and verify that the personal computer recognized the USB flash drive. If the USB flash drive is not recognized, go to IBM Support Web site and download the initialization tool package. Use the instructions available on the support site to save the tool to a supported USB flash drive. After you save the tool to the USB flash drive, restart the initialization wizard.
  5. If the status LED is permanently on, the system has successfully initialized. Complete these steps to complete system setup:
    1. In a supported browser, enter the management IP address of your system. This address is the IP address that you specified during initialization.
    2. On the login panel, enter the default user name, superuser, and the default password, which is passw0rd (the ‘0’ is a zero).
    3. Complete the System Setup wizard to configure basic settings for your system.
