Page: 19 / 64

Table 1 describes the green and amber light emitting diodes (LEDs) and the activity
of the FAStT FC2-133 Adapter. For more information about the FAStT FC2-133
Adapter LED activity, see the
IBM Fibre Channel Problem Determination Guide .

Green LED Amber LED Activity Description
On On Power The FAStT FC2-133 Adapter is receiving
power from the PCI or PCI-X slot but is not
initialized by the adapter firmware.
On Off Online The FAStT FC2-133 Adapter is successfully
initialized by the adapter firmware and is in
a ready state. The adapter firmware is
initialized when the adapter BIOS code is
loaded, Ctrl-Q is pressed, or the operating
system driver is loaded.
Off On Signal acquired The FAStT FC2-133 Adapter firmware is
performing or waiting to perform Fibre
Channel loop initialization.
Off Flashing Loss of synchronization The FAStT FC2-133 Adapter has detected
a loss of synchronization condition from the
adapter Fibre Channel receiver and is
attempting to resynchronize. A loss of
synchronization condition might occur when
a degraded optical signal is received from
the LC-LC Fibre Channel cable or optical
interface connector.
Flashing Flashing Firmware error The FAStT FC2-133 Adapter firmware has
detected an unrecoverable error condition.
Installing the FAStT FC2-133 Adapter
Attention: To avoid damage to your fiber-optic cables, follow these guidelines:
v
Do not route the cable along a folding cable-management arm.
v
When attaching fiber-optic cables to a Fibre Channel device on slide rails, leave
enough slack in the cables so that they do not bend to an angle smaller than 38
mm (1.5 in.) when extended or become pinched when retracted.
v
Route the cable away from places where it can snag on other Fibre Channel
devices in the rack.
v
Do not overtighten the cable straps or bend the cables to an angle smaller than
38 mm (1.5 in.).
v
Do not put excess weight on the cable at the connection point and be sure that
the cable is well supported.
The FAStT FC2-133 Adapter comes with an attached standard 3U adapter bracket
as shown in Figure 2 on page 4. An additional Low Profile 2U bracket also comes
with the adapter. Before you install the FAStT FC2-133 Adapter, verify whether you
need the Fibre Channel Low Profile 2U adapter bracket. If you need to install the
Low Profile 2U bracket, continue with step 1. Otherwise, go to step 2.
1. Complete the following steps to install the Fibre Channel Low Profile 2U
adapter bracket:
