Fujitsu BX600 manual Description of Hardware, System LED

System LED

There is one IBP Module system LED with dual functions, controlled by MMB for error status reporting and blade identification. Different flashing frequencies are used to indicate the different functions. There are two functions, identification and error reporting, with identification having a higher priority than error reporting.

NOTE: If there is an error and the identification function is activated, the LED still functions as an identification LED. The LED can only be disabled by the MMB with a 255 seconds timeout. If an error is happening, the LED for error reporting will always be flashing and cannot be turn off. The following table describes the system LED indications.

PRIMERGY BX600 Front Panel Port Description

The PRIMERGY BX600 IBP Module contains 12 Gigabit Ethernet ports for connecting to the network and 30 Gigabit Ethernet ports for connecting PRIMERGY BX600 Blade Server management MMB modules.

The 12 Gigabit Ethernet ports can operate at 10, 100 or 1000 Mbps. These ports support auto negotiation, duplex mode (Half or Full duplex), and flow control. The 30 Gigabit Ethernet ports that connect to server modules can only operate at 1000 Mbps, full-duplex. These 30 ports also support flow control.

The following figure illustrates the PRIMERGY BX600 IBP front panel.

2.2.1Ethernet Ports

Up-link Ports

12external RJ-45 ports support IEEE 802.3x auto-negotiation of speed, duplex mode, and flow control. Each port can operate at 10 Mbps, 100 Mbps and 1000 Mbps, full and half duplex, and control the data stream to prevent buffers from overflowing. The up-link ports can be connected to other IEEE 802.3ab 1000BASE-T compliant devices up to 100 m (328 ft.) away using Category 5 twisted-pair cable. These ports also feature automatic MDI/MDI-X operation, so you can use straight-through cables for all connections. These up-link ports are named g31 – g42 in the configuration interface.

Note – Note that when using auto-negotiation, the speed, transmission mode and flow control
