Menu 4: Fan Status
Sub-Menu 1-4: Indicates fan status for fans 1-4
Note: Fan speed is controlled by adjusting fan voltage based on sensed system temperature. Fan voltage
adjusts from 6V min (25deg C or lower) at 50% to 12V max (50deg C or higher) at 100%. Fan voltage is
the same for all fans.
PWR OFF is 0V at 00%; system is in standby.
Running aaV at pp%; fan is good; aa = fan voltage and pp = fan power percent (%).
FAULT is 12V at 100%; fan fault: fan voltage is set to full on.
NO FAN is aaV at pp%; Xpander can be configured with 1, 2 , 3, or 4 fans. No fan means fan is
not installed.

Menu 5: PCIe Link Status
Sub-Menu 1: Indicates x16 PCIe cable installation status
Connected
x16 cable is properly connected to the HIC
NOT-Connected
x16 cable is not properly connected to the HIC
Sub-Menu 2: x16 PCIe cable link speed and link width. Speed and width depend on the host capability.
Speed: 8.0Gb/s, 5.0Gb/s or 2.5Gb/s
Width: x1, x2, x4, x8, x16 and “NO Link” when the host did not successfully link or Xpander is
in standby power.
Sub-Menu 3-10: Link speed and link width for slots 1-8.
Speed: 5.0Gb/s or 8.0Gb/s
Slot 1-8 width: x1, x2, x4, x8, and “NO Link” when the slot is empty, unsuccessful link, or
Xpander is in standby power.
LCD Backlight Control
Press right switch to toggle the LCD backlight On/Off.
