356 Interpreting LED Codes
Interpreting Fibre Port Link LEDs
A fibre port link LED shows the state of the Fibre Channel link and whether the link is ready to transmit
commands.
Drive Sled Fibre Channel Link LED
The Fibre Channel link LED for a drive sled is located on the rear of the drive sled. Figure 42 on page 354
shows the location of the Fibre Channel link LED on the rear of the UDS-2 drive sled, and Figure 43
on page
355 shows the location of the Fibre Channel link LED on the rear of the UDS-3 drive sled.
Table 21
describes how to interpret the Fibre Channel link LED activity that you might see on the rear of the
UDS-2 drive sled. Table 22
on page 357 describes the Fibre Channel link LED activity on the rear of the
UDS-3 drive sled.
Blue Power control status • Solid off — drive sled is not receiving power
• Solid on — drive brick is powered down; ready to be
replaced (swap mode) or varied on
• Blinks one time every 10 seconds (flash) — drive brick is
powered on; operating normally
Table 19 Explanations of Drive Sled Status LED States Under Normal Conditions
LED Color State and Explanation
Green Blinks one time every second (1 Hz) — drive sled’s main processor is operating
normally. The green LEDs for all drive sleds that are operating normally blink together.
Amber Solid off — no errors are detected; drive sled’s controller is operating normally.
Blue Blinks one time every 10 seconds (flash) — drive sled is powered on; operating
normally.
Table 20 Explanations of Ethernet Port LED States
LED Color Possible States and Explanations
Green • Solid on — the link is up; data can be sent or received through the Ethernet port
• Solid off — the link is not up; data cannot be sent or received through the Ethernet port
Amber • Flashes at irregular intervals — data activity is occurring through the Ethernet port
• Solid off — no data activity is occurring through the Ethernet port
SDLT-600 Fibre drives do not have a Fibre Channel link LED.
