Troubleshooting HyperFabric
LED Colors and Their Meanings
Chapter 6

✓ If the connection from the port to the corresponding adapter in the HP 9000 is
operational, the LED on the port shows as solid green.
✓ If data is flowing between the port and the corresponding adapter, the LED
shows as flashing green. Note that data does not start to flow until HyperFabric
initialization has occurred (see “Using the clic_init Command” on page 70).
Note that a legend listing the possible port states—disconnected, connected, and
traffic—and the corresponding LED colors is printed on the front of the switch, for
your reference.
Table 6-3 below summarizes the HF2 switch LED information in a table format.

LED Color Meaning Notes
“Status” None The card/switch
module is not
operating.
Integrated Ethernet management LAN
adapter card (in the top slot) &
integrated 8-port fibre card (in the
middle slot): the card can be safely
removed by qualified Hewlett-Packard
personnel only. A6388A HF2 8-port fibre
or A6389A HF2 4-port copper switch
module in the expansion slot (the bottom
slot): the switch module can be safely
removed by you or qualified
Hewlett-Packard personnel.
Solid yellow A fault is occurring on
the card/switch
module.
Solid green The card/switch
module passed the
self-test and is
operating.
“Power A” and
“Power B”
None Power to switch is off.
Solid green Power to switch is on. One LED solid green: switch is still
operational.
“Ethernet Port
Main” and
“Ethernet Port
Aux”
None Ethernet port is
disconnected.
This can happen if the Ethernet port is
not correctly connected to the Ethernet
network, or the integrated Ethernet
management LAN adapter card is
experiencing a fault. Management is
disabled when the Ethernet port is not
operating, however, this does not prevent
the fabric from operating.
Solid green Connection from the
Ethernet port to the
Ethernet network is
operational.
Flashing
green
Data is flowing
between the Ethernet
port and the Ethernet
network.
