The switch-module information panel contains the following components:
v
LEDs that display the status of the switch module and its network
connection. For further details about LEDs, see “Information LEDs.”
v
Six external Fibre Channel ports to connect Fibre Channel devices, such as
disk subsystems, tape drives, and other servers; and SAN devices, such as
Fibre Channel switches, extenders, and gateways. These connectors are
identified as ports 0, 15, 16, 17, 18, and 19 in the I/O-module configuration
menus and are labeled 0, 15, 16, 17, 18, and 19 (from top to bottom) on the
switch module. The internal connectors are numbered 1 through 14.
Note: For the IBM
Eserver
BladeCenter T Types 8720 and 8730 units, ports 9
through 14 are disabled.
Information LEDs
The front panel of the Fibre Channel switch module has multiple sets of LEDs.
The LEDs in the first row at the top of the switch module represent the switch
module status. The remaining sets of LEDs represent status for the external
Fibre Channel ports. The port LEDs include port speed, port status, and port
diagnostics.
The following illustration shows the locations of these LEDs on the switch
module. A description of each LED and corresponding activity follows the
illustration.
