Heartbeat LED Blink Patterns

Normal (all pass)

If all POST diagnostics pass, the Switch will go to normal operation and the Heart- beat LED will blink at a steady rate of one (1) blink per second.

1 Second

Failure Blink Patterns

The Heartbeat LED indicates the error by blinking a series of blinks, pausing for three seconds, then repeating the blinks. The number of blinks between the three- second pauses indicates the error. The blinks are at about twice the speed of the normal Heartbeat.

Test/Failure Descriptions

If any POST errors occur, notify QLogic Customer Support or your autho- rized maintenance provider.

The following paragraphs describe the tests and their failure indication. Refer to Appendix B QLogic Customer Support for information about how to contact QLogic Customer Support.

PROM Checksum Failure (1 Blink)

The Switch is not operable. This is a checksum test of the PROM designed to verify the integrity of the PROM data. A failure indicates the PROM data is corrupted and blinks the Heartbeat LED once between three-second pauses. No port Logged- in LEDs blink.

RAM Failure (2 Blinks)

The Switch is not operable. This is a test designed to verify the data and address busses to the SRAM as well as the SRAM integrity. A failure indicates that either the data bus, address bus, or SRAM is failing and blinks the Heartbeat LED twice between three-second pauses. No port Logged-in LEDs blink.
