Hardware components

This section describes the Edge Switch 2/24 main hardware components.

Front panel

Figure 1 shows the front of the Edge Switch and identifies the front panel components.

Figure 1 Edge Switch (front view)

The front panel of the Edge Switch includes the following connectors and indicators:

• Power (green) and Error (amber) LEDs

The Power LED illuminates when the Edge Switch is connected to facility AC power and is

powered on. If the LED extinguishes, a facility power source, power cord, or power distribution

failure is indicated.

The Error LED illuminates when the Edge Switch detects an event requiring immediate operator

attention, such as a FRU failure. The LED remains illuminated as long as an event is active. The

LED extinguishes when the Clear System Error Light function is selected from the Element

Manager. The LED blinks if unit beaconing is enabled. An illuminated Error LED (indicating a

failure) takes precedence over unit beaconing.

• Ethernet LAN connector

The Ethernet LAN connector is a 10/100 megabit per second (Mbps) RJ-45 twisted-pair

connector that attaches to an Ethernet LAN to provide communication with the HAFM appliance,

the HAFM Basic interface, or an SNMP management workstation. Two green LEDs are

associated with the LAN connector. When illuminated, the left LED indicates LAN operation at

10 Mbps, and the right LED indicates LAN operation at 100 Mbps.
