Interpreting POST results
POST is a system check that is performed each time the switch is powered on,
rebooted, or reset. During POST, the LEDs flash amber and green. Any errors that
occur during POST are listed in the error log.
To determine that POST completed successfully and whether or not any errors
were detected:
1.
Verify that the switch LEDs indicate that all components are healthy. See
Table 4 on page 23 through Table 7 on page 25 for the description and
interpretation of LED patterns. If one or more LEDs do not display a healthy
state, verify that the LEDs on the switch are not set to “beacon”; use the
switchShow
command to detect if beaconing is active.
2.
Verify that the switch prompt displays on the terminal of a computer
workstation connected to the switch. If there is no switch prompt when POST
completes, press
Enter
. If the switch prompt still does not display, try opening
another telnet session or accessing through another management tool. If this is
not successful, the switch did not successfully complete POST; contact IBM
Service for repair.
3.
Review the switch system log for errors. Any errors detected during POST are
written to the system log, which is accessible through the
errShow
command.
For information about all referenced commands, and on accessing the error log,
refer to
Fabric OS Administrator's Guide
. For information about error messages, refer
to the
Fabric OS System Message Reference Manual

Maintaining the switch
The switch does not require any regular physical maintenance; it was designed to
minimize the chance of failure. Ensure that the environmental conditions,
described in “Environment considerations” on page 8, are met. This helps prevent
failure of the switch due to distress or abuse.
Installing SFPs
The switch only supports Brocade-branded SFPs. If you use an unqualified SFP, the
switchShow
command output will show the port in an Mod_Inv state. Fabric OS
will also log the issue in the system error log.
