Ports and LEDs
The Vixel 9000 Series Switch is equipped with eight or sixteen Fibre Channel ports.
LEDs are shown in Figure 6-1.
Note: The blinking rates
vary according to the LED.
While port LEDs blink at
one rate only, the Fault
LED can blink at either
slow or fast rate, and the
ACT/COL LED blinks
randomly, according to the
activity on the Ethernet
port. The Power and 100
LEDs do not blink.
Port, System, and Ethernet LED indications are shown in the tables below.
