IBM Flex System FC3171 8 Gb SAN Switch and Pass-thru Installation and User’s Guide
In the switch configuration menus, the internal connectors are numbered 1 through
14 on the pass-thru module and the full-fabric module.
Note:
•
The information panel is also known as the front panel.
• In the pass-thru module, the internal ports are logically mapped to the external
ports. Use the management tools to view and modify the default internal to
external logical port mapping. For additional information, see the applicable
management guide for your switch.
Information LEDs
The front panel of the switch has multiple sets of LEDs. The OK, Location, and !
(switch fault) LEDs at the bottom of the switch represent switch status. The other
sets of LEDs represent the status of each external Fibre Channel port. The port LEDs
are external port logged-in (LOG), external port activity (TX/RX), and external port
fault (!). The Ethernet port LEDs represent the link status and activity of the
Ethernet port. The following illustration shows the locations of these LEDs on the
switch.
Note:
•
An amber LED on the IBM Flex System chassis is lit when a system error or event
has occurred. To identify the error or event, check the other LEDs on the switch,
and check the chassis management-module event log or the switch system log.
•
When the switch is turned on, an LED test occurs. All LEDs are lit and remain lit
for approximately five seconds; then, all the LEDs except the OK LED turn off.
The OK LED is lit at startup; then, POST proceeds.
•
Before you can use the switch and its external ports, you must make sure that
these devices are enabled. For additional information, see “Enabling the switch
and its external ports” on page 17.
