•Comprehensive LEDs that display the status of the switch module and the network. For more information, see “LEDs.”
•Two external Fibre Channel connectors to connect Fibre Channel devices, such as disk subsystems, tape drives, and other servers; and SAN devices, such as Fibre Channel switches, extenders, and gateways. These connectors are identified as port 0 and port 15 in the switch configuration menus and are labeled 0 and 15 (from top to bottom) on the switch module, as shown in Figure 8.
✏NOTE
The internal connectors are numbered 1 through 14.
LEDs
After you install the switch module in the SBCE unit, the
The LEDs might display any of these states and colors during startup, POST, or other diagnostic tests. This is typical and does not indicate a problem, unless the LEDs do not indicate a healthy state after all the startup (boot) processes and diagnostic tests have been completed. If one or more LEDs do not display a healthy state, make sure that the LEDs are not set to beacon. For information about how to turn beaconing on and off, see the Brocade Fabric OS Procedures Guide or the Brocade Advanced Web Tools Administrator’s Guide v4.2.0 or later on the Resource CD.
Any errors that are detected during POST are written to the system log. This log is accessible through the errShow command. For information about this command, see the Brocade Fabric OS Procedures Guide on the Resource CD. For information about error messages, see the Brocade Diagnostic and System Error Message Reference Manual on the Resource CD.
✏NOTE
You can also use the management module to make sure that the switch module is correctly operating. For more information, see the Intel Server Chassis SBCE Installation and User’s Guide and the Intel Server Chassis SBCE Hardware Maintenance Manual and Troubleshooting Guide on the Resource CD.
Figure 9 shows the locations of the LEDs on the switch module. To interpret the meaning of the LED states, see Table 2.
