eco-friendly
Button
You may use the eco-friendly button on the controller card to turn the
LEDs on or off. You may turn off the LEDs when you are not using them to
monitor the control and Ethernet line cards, to conserve electricity. When
the LEDs are off, the overall power consumption of the chassis is slightly
reduced, approximately 3 watts in a system with 240 active copper ports.
The button controls all of the port LEDs on the Ethernet line cards and
controller card, except for the CFC LED, which is always on, and the L/A
LED for the NET MGMT port. The button does not control the LEDs on the
fan module and power supply systems.
Reset Button
You may use the Reset button to reset either the controller card or all of
the cards in the chassis. The action depends on the number of AT-
SBx81CFC400 Controller Cards in the chassis and, if the chassis has two
controller cards, whether you reset the active or standby master controller
card.
The possible actions are described here:
 If the chassis has only one controller card, pressing the Reset
button resets the controller card and all of the Ethernet line cards in
the chassis. You may perform this function if the chassis and line
cards are experiencing a problem.
Caution
The control and Ethernet line cards do not forward network traffic for
a minimum of two minutes while they initialize the AlliedWare Plus
Operating System and configure their parameter settings. Some
network traffic may be lost.
 If the chassis has two controller cards, pressing the Reset button
on the active master controller card resets the controller card, but
not the Ethernet line cards. The standby master controller card
immediately becomes the new active master card and the Ethernet
line cards continue to forward traffic. The reset controller card is
unavailable for about two minutes while it initializes its AlliedWare
Plus Operating System, after which it becomes the standby master
controller card in the chassis.
Note
The available bandwidth across the backplane of the chassis is
reduced from 80 to 40 Gbps for each line card slot for about one
minute while the reset controller card initializes its management
software. This may reduce network performance.
 If the chassis has two controller cards, pressing the Reset button
on the standby master controller card resets that card, but not the
active master controller card or the Ethernet line cards.
