Powering off the Brocade VDX 6710
To power the Brocade VDX 6710 off, power off both power supplies by setting each power supply
switch to "O.".
LED activity interpretation
System activity and status can be determined through the activity of the LEDs on the switch.
There are three possible LED states: off (no light), a steady light, and a flashing light. Flashing lights
may be slow, fast, or flickering. The lights are green or amber. See
LED behavior.
Sometimes, the LEDs flash either of the colors during boot, POST, or other diagnostic tests. This is
normal; it does not indicate a problem unless the LEDs do not indicate a healthy state after all boot
processes and diagnostic tests are complete.

The Brocade VDX 6710 switches have the following LEDs:
