The DC SAN Director is engineered for reliability and requires no routine operational steps or
maintenance. This chapter provides information about determining the status of each component
using LEDs and CLI commands.

To determine the status of a Director blade:
1. Observe the LEDs on the blade.
• Figure 18 (page 44) shows the FC8-16.
• Figure 19 (page 45) shows the FC8-32.
• Figure 20 (page 46) shows the FC8-48.
• Figure 21 (page 47) shows the FC8-64.
• Figure 22 (page 48) shows the FC10-6.
• Figure 23 (page 49) shows the FR4-18i.
• Figure 24 (page 50) shows the FS8-18.
• Figure 25 (page 51) shows the FX8-24.
• Figure 26 (page 52) shows the FCOE10-24.
The LED patterns may temporarily change during POST and other diagnostic tests. For
information about how to interpret the LED patterns, see Table 8 (page 52).
