Lenovo BladeCenter Virtual Fabric 10Gb Switch Module, Installation Manual

Page: 38 / 62

Information LEDs
The front panel of the switch module has two sets of LEDs. The OK and
switch-module error LEDs in the first column at the left of the switch module
indicate the switch-module status. The link (LINK) and activity (TX/RX) LEDs
indicate the status of the external ports. Ports 1 through 10 have a single LED that
indicates both link and activity status. Port 11 has separate link and activity LEDs.
The following illustration shows the locations of the LEDs on the switch module.
These LEDs are described in “Switch-module status LEDs” on page 27 and “Port
status LEDs” on page 27.
Notes:
v
An amber LED on the BladeCenter unit is lit when a system error or event has
occurred. To identify the error or event, check the BladeCenter
management-module event log or the switch system log.
v
An LED test occurs whenever the switch module is turned on. All LEDs are lit
and remain lit during POST, and then all the LEDs except the OK LED turn off.
Any errors that are detected during POST are written to the system log. For
information about the command to read the system log, see the
Menu-Based CLI
Command Reference guide for the switch module
When POST errors are written to the system log, these errors are also written to
the BladeCenter management-module event log. If a hardware error, such as a
current fault occurs, the management module displays it. If a software error occurs,
the management module displays the
Module did not complete POST
message and
a post error code that indicates the test that was running when the error was
detected.
Note: You can also use the management module to make sure that the switch
module is operating correctly. For more information, see the documentation
for the BladeCenter unit.
