Brocade FCoE Switch Module for IBM BladeCenter: Installation and User Guide
•
One RJ-45 Ethernet port connector. Do not attach any devices to this connector other than a
compatible cable.
•
One mini-USB console port connector used for switch management. This port requires a
mini-USB plug on the serial cable.
Information LEDs
The front panel of the switch module has two sets of LEDs. The power and status/fault LEDs on the
left of the switch module indicate the switch module status. The fault (!) and activity (TX/RX) LEDs
on the FC ports and the fault (!) and activity (TX/RX) LEDs on the CEE ports indicate the status of
the external ports. Each port has two LEDs. The Ethernet port has separate link and activity LEDs.
See
on page 23 for the locations of the LEDs on the switch module. These LEDs are
described in
on page 24 and
NOTE
An amber LED on the BladeCenter unit is lit when a system error or event has occurred. To identify
the error or event, check the BladeCenter Advanced Management Module event log or the switch
system log.
An LED test occurs whenever the switch module is turned on. All LEDs are lit and remain lit during
POST, and then all the LEDs except the OK LED turn off.
Any errors that are detected during POST are written to the system log.
When POST errors are written to the system log, these errors are also written to the BladeCenter
management module event log. If a hardware error, such as a current fault occurs, the
management module displays it. If a software error occurs, the management module displays the
Module did not complete POST message and a post error code that indicates the test that was
running when the error was detected.
NOTE
You can also use the management module to make sure that the switch module is operating
correctly. For more information, see the documentation for the BladeCenter unit.
Switch module status LEDs
The following table provides descriptions of the switch module status LEDs on the front panel of the
switch module.
