Indication

 

 

 

 

LED 0

Power On

Green

Normally ON, indicates power is

 

 

 

applied. OFF indicates no power.

 

 

 

 

LED 1

Shelf Fault

Amber

Normally OFF indicates no faults

 

 

 

exist in the enclosure. ON indi-

 

 

 

cates a fault. Flashing of this LED

 

 

 

indicates the both a 1GB and a 2Gb

 

 

 

I/O module has been detected.

 

 

 

 

LED 2

FC Loop A

Green

ON indicates FC Loop A closed.

 

 

 

OFF indicates FC Loop A open

 

 

 

 

LED 3

FC Loop B

Green

ON indicates FC Loop B closed.

 

 

 

OFF indicates FC Loop B open.

 

 

 

 

LED 4

LS Fault

Amber

Normally OFF indicating that the

 

 

 

LS Module has no fault. ON indi-

 

 

 

cates an LS Module fault. Flashing

 

 

 

of this LED indicates that the LS is

 

 

 

a 1GB LS module in a 2Gb system.

 

 

 

 

LED 5

2Gb Operation

Green

ON indicates the FC loop is operat-

 

 

 

ing at 2Gb/Sec speed. OFF indi-

 

 

 

cates the FC Loop is operating at

 

 

 

1GB/Sec Speed. Flashing of this

 

 

 

LED indicates that the LS module

 

 

 

is set to an incorrect speed.

 

 

 

 

Note: The audible alarm will sound when an error is detected.

CAUTION: If 1GB and 2Gb hardware is mixed in an enclosure at power up, and the enclosure is set to 2Gb, the drives will not spin up and LED 5 will flash.
