McDATA® Sphereon 3032 and 3232 Fabric Switches Installation and Service Manual
General Information
Operations, and Help) appear at the left side of the panel. The task

Maintenance Approach
Whenever possible, the maintenance approach instructs service
personnel to perform fault isolation and repair procedures without
degrading or interrupting operation of the switch, attached devices,
or associated applications. Switch fault isolation begins when one or
more of the following occur:
• System event information displays at the attached management
server, a remote workstation communicating with the
management server, or the EFCM Basic Edition interface.
• LEDs on the switch front panel or FRUs illuminate to indicate a
hardware malfunction.
• An unsolicited SNMP trap message is received at a management
workstation, indicating an operational state change or failure.
• Notification of a significant system event is received at a
designated support center through an e-mail message or the
call-home feature.
System events can be related to a:
• Switch or management server failure (hardware or software).
