If the switch is configured as 12 * x8 every second port status led will be on:
O-O- O-O- O-O- O-O- O-O- O-O-
And if it's configured as 6 * x16 every fourth status led will be on:
O--- O--- O--- O--- O--- O---
It is also possible to have more complex configurations. Let
’
s say 2 * x16 + 8 * x8:
O--- O--- O-O- O-O- O-O- O-O-
In the examples above the port status LED color is orange which denotes that it is a NTB port or a downstream transparent
port. If the LED is green it indicates that the port is a transparent upstream port.
When the cables are connected, and you have a valid link the port status LED will in both cases turn yellow.
Link status LEDs
Each port has also a separate link status LED. It reflects the cable and link status:
•
it will remain dark if no valid cable has been detected in the port
•
it will light up orange if the cable is inserted and ok, but there is no valid link established.
•
it will be green if the cable is ok and the link is valid.
USB Port
The switch has a USB port for firmware updates. Do not try to utilize the USB port unless instructed by Dolphin support.
SD Card Port
The switch is delivered with a SD Card. Do not remove the SD-Card unless instructed by Dolphin support. A missing SD-
Card will prevent you from utilizing the management processor services but will not affect the basic PCIe switching
capabilities.
