McDATA Sphereon 4500 Fabric Switch Installation and Service Manual
General Information
Power and System
Error LEDs
The PWR LED illuminates when the switch is connected to facility
AC power and is operational (the product does not have a power
switch). If the LED extinguishes, a facility power source, power cord,
or power distribution failure is indicated.
The ERR LED illuminates when the switch detects an event requiring
operator attention, such as a FRU failure. The LED illuminates as long
as an event is active. The LED extinguishes when Clear System Error
Light is selected from the EFCM Basic Edition interface or Element
Manager application. The ERR LED also blinks if unit beaconing is
enabled. An illuminated LED (indicating a failure) takes precedence
over unit beaconing.
FRU Status LEDs
Amber and green/blue LEDs associated with switch FRUs provide
status information as follows:
• Fibre Channel ports - LEDs to the left of each port illuminate,
extinguish, or blink to indicate port status and speed. The amber
LED illuminates if the port fails. The green/blue LED illuminates
green to indicate 1.0625 Gbps port operation. The green/blue
LED illuminates blue to indicate 2.1250 Gbps port operation.
• Power supply assembly - An amber LED on each assembly
illuminates if the FRU fails.
Maintenance Port
The rear panel has a 9-pin DSUB maintenance port that provides a
connection for a local terminal or dial-in connection for a remote
terminal. The port is typically used only by maintenance personnel,
however operators can use the port to configure network addresses.
