DescriptionStatusLED
All diagnostics pass. The module is operational (normal initialization
sequence).
GreenStatus
One of the following occurs:
• The module is booting or running diagnostics (normal initialization
sequence).
• An over temperature condition occurred (a minor threshold was
exceeded during environmental monitoring).
Orange
One of the following occurs:
• The diagnostic test failed. The module is not operational because a
fault occurred during the initialization sequence.
• An over temperature condition occurred (a major threshold was
exceeded during environmental monitoring).
• Crossbar fabric switching module has been manually powered off.

Since the crossbar fabric switching modules are located behind the fan modules in the chassis, the LEDs on
the crossbar fabric switching modules are not easily visible from the back of the chassis. So, crossbar fabric
switching module status LEDs are provided on the fan modules as well. Each fan module covers two crossbar
fabric switching modules, the status LEDs for the two crossbar fabric switching modules are present on each
fan module. If the fan module is removed, the status and locator LEDs on the crossbar fabric switching modules
will be visible.
When a fabric module needs to be located, the locator LED of the corresponding fan module must be activated,
followed by the locator LED of the crossbar fabric switching module, using the CLIs locator-led fan < fan
module number > and locator-led xbar < xbar slot number >. For example, to locate the crossbar fabric
switching module in slot 4, the locator LED of the fan module 2 needs to be activated followed by the locator
LED of the crossbar fabric switching module 4.
Cisco MDS 9706 Director Crossbar Fabric Switching Modules
The Cisco MDS 9706 Director supports up to six crossbar (xbar) fabric switching modules. The crossbar
fabric switching modules DS-X9706-FAB1 and DS-X9706-FAB3 are supported. The crossbar fabric switching
modules are installed vertically at the back of the chassis behind the fan modules. Crossbar fabric switching
modules slots 1 and 2 are behind the fan module slot 1, crossbar fabric switching modules slots 3 and 4 are
behind the fan module slot 2, and crossbar fabric switching modules slots 5 and 6 are behind the fan module
slot 3.
