Chapter 3. Information panel LEDs and external Fibre Channel
ports
This chapter describes the information panel and LEDs on the switch and identifies
the external Fibre Channel ports on the information panel. For additional
information about the ports, see “Features, specifications, and standards” on page 4.
Note: The illustrations in this document might differ slightly from your hardware.
Information panel and internal connectors
The front panel of the switch contains the following components, as shown in the
following illustration:
•
Information LEDs that display the status of the switch and its network
connections. For additional information, see “Information LEDs” on page 28.
•
Six external Fibre Channel ports to connect Fibre Channel devices and switches.
These ports are identified as ports 0, 15, 16, 17, 18, and 19 in the switch
configuration menus and are labeled 0, 15, 16, 17, 18, and 19 (from top to bottom)
on the switch.
•
An RS-232 serial port provides a connection to a management workstation
through a serial cable (null-modem F/F USB Type B to DB9) by which to manage
the switch using the CLI.
•
An RJ-45 Ethernet management port (Eth0) provides a connection to a
management workstation through a 10/100 Base-T Ethernet cable. A
management workstation can be a Windows
®
or a Linux
®
workstation. You can
manage the switch over an Ethernet connection using the CLI, QuickTools, or
SNMP.
