The front panel contains the following components:
LEDs that display the status of the switch module and the fabric:
The OK LED indicates that the switch module has passed the power-on self-test (POST) with no
critical faults and is operational.
The blue Identify LED can be used to identify the switch physically, by illuminating via the
management software.
The Error LED (switch module error) indicates that the switch module has failed the POST or
detected an operational fault.
One mini-USB RS-232 console port that provides an additional means to configure the switch
module. This mini-USB-style connector enables connection of a special serial cable (cable is optional
and it is not included with the switch; see the part number information section for details).
One 1 Gb Ethernet RJ-45 port for switch configuration and management
20 external SFP+ port connectors to attach SFP+ modules for 16 Gb, 8 Gb or 4 Gb connections to
external FC devices
An FC link error LED and an FC Tx/Rx LED for each external port on the switch
