of the card, distributes cooling airflow, and assists in aligning the

assembly during installation. Therear of the carriage contains agreen

LED that illuminates if the assembly is operational and active, and an

amber LED that illuminates if the assembly fails. Both LEDs are

extinguished on an operational backup assembly. The amber LED

blinks if FRU beaconing is enabled.

Backplane

The backplane provides 48 VDC power distribution and connections

for all logic cards. The backplane is a nonconcurrent FRU. The

director must be powered off prior to FRU removal and replacement.

Error-Detection, Reporting, and Serviceability Features

The director provides the following error detection, reporting, and

serviceability features:

• Light-emitting diodes (LEDs) on director FRUs and the front

bezel that provide visual indicators of hardware status or

malfunctions.

• Redundant FRUs (logic cards, power supplies, and cooling fans)

that are removed or replaced without disrupting director or Fibre

Channel link operation.

• A modulardesign thatenables quick removaland replacement of

FRUs without the use of special tools or equipment.

• System alerts and logs that display director, Ethernet link, and

Fibre Channel link status at the management server (running a

SAN management application), client communicating with the

management server, or EFCM Basic Edition interface.

• Diagnostic software that performs power-on self-tests (POSTs)

and port diagnostics (internal loopback, external loopback, and

Fibre Channel (FC) wrap tests). The FC wrap test applies only

whenthe directoris configuredto operate in FICONmanagement

style.
