Description

 

 

 

 

 

Status

Green

 

All diagnostics pass. The module is operational

 

 

 

(normal initialization sequence).

 

 

 

 

 

 

Orange

 

One of the following occurs or occurred:

 

 

 

The module is booting or running diagnostics

 

 

 

(normal initialization sequence).

 

 

 

The inlet air temperature of the system has

 

 

 

exceeded the maximum system operating

 

 

 

temperature limit (a minor environmental

 

 

 

warning). To ensure maximum product life, you

 

 

 

should immediately correct the environmental

 

 

 

temperature and restore the system to normal

 

 

 

operation.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Red

 

One of the following occurs or occurred:

 

 

 

The diagnostic test failed. The module is not

 

 

 

operational because a fault occurred during the

 

 

 

initialization sequence.

 

 

 

The inlet air temperature of the system has

 

 

 

exceeded the safe operating temperature limits of

 

 

 

the card (a major environmental warning). The

 

 

 

card has been shut down to prevent permanent

 

 

 

damage.

1.The flashing green light turns on automatically when an external loopback is detected that causes the interfaces to be isolated. The flashing green light overrides the beacon mode configuration. The state of the LED is restored to reflect the beacon mode configuration after the external loopback is removed.

The Fibre Channel switching modules provide autoconfiguring Fibre Channel ports that support Fibre Channel speeds of 1.0625 Gbps and 2.125 Gbps. For more information about supported port types, see

the Cisco MDS 9000 Family CLI Configuration Guide.
