Status and Activity LEDs

The switch features three status LEDs on the front panel that show the current status of the switch. Also on the front panel are three LEDs that show activity for the optional stacker link module. In addition, each Token-Ring port has two LEDs. On CrossFire 8600, these two LEDs are unlabelled and located on the upper edge of each port. On CrossFire 8605, these LEDs are located under each port and labelled ACT and INS.

Refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4 in this chapter for the locations of all the LEDs.

Table 1 below lists the status LEDs and their meanings.

LED

State

Meaning

 

 

 

PWR

Off

The switch is not connected to a power outlet, or

 

 

the power supply is faulty.

 

 

 

 

On

The switch is receiving power.

 

 

 

DIAG

On

The DIAG diagnostics LED is on during the

 

 

power-on self-test.

 

 

 

 

Blinking

During download of a new software image, the

 

 

DIAG LED blinks to indicate the clearing (slow

 

 

blink) and loading (faster blink) of FLASH

 

 

memory.

 

 

 

ERR

On

The ERR LED is off during normal operation. If

 

 

the LED turns on, an error has occurred. Power

 

 

the switch down and up again. The ERR LED

 

 

should not turn on again. If it does, the switch is

 

 

faulty.

 

 

Note that the ERR LED also turns on if the switch

 

 

is powered only by an external power supply.
