If everything matched properly (as they would from the factory), the output of the “show system fans” would
simply be as follows, with no warnings or messages:
ProCurve Switch 6600ml-24G# sh system fans
Fan Information:
Num State AirowDirection Failures
Sys-1 Fan Ok Power To Port 0
ProCurve Switch 6600ml-24G# sh system fan-pref-airow-dir
Preferredfanairowdirection:PowerToPort
Imagine if someone wanted their ports mounted in the front/cold aisle and they had a warranty replacement of
the fan tray—and they forgot to reverse the fans. This event would pop up because the user had configured the
6600 switch with a power-to-port direction (that is, the air is pulled from the back of the unit [the power] and
ejected out of the front [the ports]). In this instance, the user would receive a warning.
The SNMP MIB object to manipulate the setting of the “Preferred Fan Direction” is:
hpicfDcFan.mib –> hpicfFanUserPrefAirflowDir
6600 LEDs
The LEDs on the 6600 switch are grouped in two columns.
•One set to indicate the status of system components (power supplies, temperature, fan tray, and so on)
•One set to indicate the switch state (Active, Standby, or Down)
Locator LED
The Locator function is enabled through the following CLI command:
ProCurve Switch 6600ml-24G# chassislocate ?
blink Blinkthechassislocateled(default30minutes).
off Turnthechassislocateledoff.
on Turnthechassislocateledon(default30minutes).
ProCurve Switch 6600ml-24G# chassislocate blink ?
<1-1440> Numberofminutesduration(default30).
<cr>
By indicating a number N after either the “blink” or “on” parameter, the locator LED will extinguish
automatically after N minutes. Without specifying a value, the default is 30 minutes.
The LED indicators are covered in more detail in “Appendix G: troubleshooting” later in this document.
