Switch diagnostics
The 8/20q Fibre Channel Switch has three switch LEDs that are used for diagnostics: Input Power LED,
Heartbeat LED, and the System Fault LED (Figure 14).
Figure 14 Switch LEDs
Input power LED is extinguished
The Input Power LED illuminates to indicate that the switch logic circuitry is receiving proper voltages. If the
Input Power LED is extinguished:
1. Inspect the power cords and connectors. Is the cord unplugged? Is the cord or connector damaged?
• Yes—Make necessary corrections or repairs. If the condition remains, continue.
•No—Continue.
2. Inspect the AC power source. Is the power source delivering the proper voltage?
•Yes—Continue.
• No—Make necessary repairs. If the condition remains, contact your authorized maintenance
provider.
