Table 18 Fibre Channel switch system indicators

System indicator

Description

Power

A green indicator. When lit, this indicates that the switch is plugged in and the

internal power is functional.

Loop operational

A green indicator. When lit, this indicates that the Fibre Channel loop has

completed initialization and is now operational.

POST fault

An amber indicator. When lit, this indicates that the internal hardware self-test

failed and the switch will not function.

OvertTemp

An amber indicator. When lit, this indicates that the

ambient temperature

has

exceeded 40° C. The switch is still functional; however you should correct the

problem immediately. The Over temp indicator turns off when the problem is

corrected.

Table 19

describes the port indicators.

Table 19 Fibre Channel switch port indicators

SFP status

indicator

(Green)

Port bypass

indicator (Amber)

Description

Off

Off

Indicates that the port does not have an SFP installed and is

bypassed by the loop.

On

Off

Indicates that the port is operating normally. The port and device

are fully operational.

On

On

Indicates the that port is in a bypassed state. The port is

non-operational due to loss of signal, poor signal integrity, or

the Loop Initialization Procedure (LIP).Note: This condition is

also normal when the SFP is present but not attached to a Fibre

Channel drive enclosure node or when the SFP is present and

attached to only a cable assembly. Attaching the SFP to a device

and plugging it into the port should initiate the LIP by the attached

device.

Off

On

Indicates a Tx fault. The port is non-operational due to an SFP

transmitter fault, improperly-seated SFP, or another failed device.
