Powering on and off
The Brocade 32Gb FC Switch Module power is provided by the frame. The Brocade 32Gb FC Switch
Module runs POST by default each time power to the enclosure is turned on. The POST process can last
up to three minutes.
To remove power from the switch, use OneView or remove the Brocade 32Gb FC Switch Module from the
frame interconnect bay.
NOTE:
Each time the Brocade 32Gb FC Switch Module is powered on, its settings are restored to the last
saved configuration.
Interpreting LED activity
You can monitor switch activity and status by checking the Brocade 32Gb FC Switch Module LEDs.
There are three possible LED states: no light, a steady light, or a flashing light. The steady lights and
flashing lights can be green or amber.
The LEDs flash any of these colors during boot, POST, or other diagnostic tests. This is normal and does
not indicate a problem unless the LEDs do not indicate a healthy state after all boot processes and
diagnostic tests are complete. A healthy state is indicated by a steady green light. For details about LED
activity, see
Table 6: Module Status LED patterns during normal operation
