System Overview 43
•
1
When in FC mode, the SFPs must be qualified 8Gb or 16Gb fiber optic option.
• A 16Gb/s SFP can run at 16Gb/s, 8Gb/s, 4Gb/s, or auto-negotiate its link speed.
• An 8Gb/s SFP can run at 8Gb/s, 4Gb/s, or auto-negotiate its link speed.
•
2
When in 10GbE iSCSI mode, the SFPs must be a qualified 10GbE iSCSI optic option.
•
3
When powering up and booting, iSCSI LEDs will be on/blinking momentarily, then they will
switch to the mode of operation.
•
4
Cache Status LED supports power on behavior and operational (cache status) behavior.
•
5
When port is down, both LEDs are off.
CNC iSCSI Controller (4-Port 1Gb RJ-45 SFPs) and LED
Figure 48 provides an illustration of the CNC iSCSI controller (4-port 1Gb RJ-45 SFPs) and LEDs for the
2U12, 2U24, and 5U84 chassis.

Description Definition
1
Host 4/8/16Gb FC
1
Link
Status/Link Activity
Off — No link detected.
Green — The port is connected and the link is up.
Blinking green — The link has I/O or replication activity.
2
Host 10GbE iSCSI
2,3
Link Status/Link
Activity
Off — No link detected.
Green — The port is connected and the link is up.
Blinking green — The link has I/O or replication activity.
3
OK Green — The controller is operating normally.
Blinking green — System is booting.
Off — The controller module is not OK, or is powered off.
4
Fault Off — The controller is operating normally.
Amber — A fault has been detected or a service action is required.
Blinking amber — Hardware-controlled power-up or a cache flush or restore
error.
5
OK to Remove Off — The controller is not prepared for removal.
Blue — The controller module is prepared for removal.
6
Identity White — The controller module is being identified.
7
Cache Status
4
Green — Cache is dirty (contains unwritten data) and operation is normal.
The unwritten information can be log or debug data that remains in the cache,
so a Green cache status LED does not, by itself, indicate that any user data is at
risk or that any action is necessary.
Off — In a working controller, cache is clean (contains no unwritten data).
This is an occasional condition that occurs while the system is booting.
Blinking green — A CompactFlash flush or cache self-refresh is in progress,
indicating cache activity.
8
Network Port Activity
Status
5
Off — The Ethernet link is not established, or the link is down.
Green — The Ethernet link is up (applies to all negotiated link speeds).
9
Network Port Link
Speed
5
Off — Link is up at 10/100base-T negotiated speeds.
Amber — Link is up and negotiated at 1000base-T.
10
Expansion Port Status Off — The port is empty or the link is down.
Green — The port is connected and the link is up.
