System Fault LED (Amber)
The System Fault LED illuminates to indicate a fault exists in the switch firmware
or hardware. Fault conditions include POST errors, over temperature conditions,
and power supply malfunctions. The Heartbeat LED shows a blink code for POST
errors and over temperature conditions. Refer to ”Heartbeat LED Blink Patterns”
on page 5-3 for more information about Heartbeat LED blink patterns. On model
5602 switches, the Power Supply Fault LED indicates power supply faults. Refer
to ”Power Supply Diagnostics” on page 5-11 for information about power supply
faults.

Fibre Channel Ports
The SANbox 5600 Series switch has sixteen Fibre Channel 1/2/4-Gbps ports and
four Fibre Channel 10-Gbps ports. Ports are numbered 0–19 as shown in
Figure 2-4. Each 1/2/4-Gbps port is served by a Small Form-Factor Pluggable
(SFP) transceiver and is capable of 1-Gbps, 2-Gbps, or 4-Gbps transmission.
SFPs are hot-pluggable. User ports can self-discover both the port type and
transmission speed when connected to public devices or other switches. The
1/2/4-Gbps port LEDs are located above their respective ports and provide port
login and activity status information.
Each 10-Gbps port is served by an XPAK optical transceiver or an XPAK switch
stacking cable for connecting to other SANbox 5600 Series switches. The XPAK
switch stacking cable is a passive cable and transceiver assembly that is
hot-pluggable. The 10-Gbps ports come from the factory with covers that must be
removed before installing transceivers or cables. 10-Gbps port LEDs are located
to the left of their respective ports and provide port login and activity status
information.
