Serviceability
Features
The Connectrix Manager and DS-32M2 Product Manager
applications offer these serviceability features:
â—† LEDs on FRUs and the front of the switch, provide visual
indicators of hardware status or malfunctions.
â—† System alerts, event logs, audit logs, link incident logs, and
hardware logs that display switch, Ethernet link, and Fibre
Channel link status at the Connectrix service processor or a
remote workstation.
â—† Diagnostic software that performs power-on self tests (POSTs)
and port diagnostics (internal loopback, and external loopback
tests.)
â—† Automatic notification of significant system events (to support
personnel or administrators) through e-mail messages or the
call-home feature.
â—† An external modem for support personnel to dial in to the
Connectrix service processor for event notification and to perform
remote diagnostics.
â—† An RS-232 maintenance port at the rear of the switch (port access
is password protected) that enables installation or service
personnel to:
• Change the switch’s MAC address, IP address, subnet mask,
and gateway address.
• Enable or disable the LAN data rate auto-negotiate feature.
The default is enabled.
• Set Fibre Channel port operation to half duplex or full duplex.
The default is full-duplex operation.
â—† Redundant FRUs (SFP LC transceivers, power supplies, and
cooling fans) that can be removed or replaced without disrupting
switch or Fibre Channel link operation.
â—† A modular design that enables quick removal and replacement of
FRUs without tools.
â—† Concurrent port maintenance. SFP transceivers can be added or
replaced, and fiber optic cables can be attached to ports without
interrupting other ports or switch operation.
