Sun Microsystems PCI-X manual To Apply Power, 2LED Indicator Status Definitions

▼To Apply Power

1.Verify that the HBA is securely installed in the system.

2.Verify that the correct optical cable is attached.

3.Plug in and power on the system.

4.Observe the status of light-emitting diodes (LEDs) for the power-on self-test (POST) results as shown in TABLE 3-2.

TABLE 3-2summarizes LED indicator combinations. The LEDs can be seen through the openings in the HBA’s mounting bracket. Each port has a corresponding set of LEDs that provide a visual indication of the operating state.

The slow blink rate is 1 Hz; the fast blink rate is 4 Hz; the flashing state is an irregular on/off appearance reflecting program activity. For the Link Rate, between each group of fast blinks (1, 2, or 3), there is a 1-Hz pause when the LED is off. You should observe the LED sequence for several seconds to ensure that the pause is correctly identified.
