Recommended action
Refer to the Brocade Fabric OS
Administration Guide for configuration
information.
Verify that boot and POST are complete.
The device requires a minimum of 3
minutes, usually, after power-on to
complete POST.
Determine whether beaconing is on by
typing the switchShow command and
determine whether switch beaconing or
blade beaconing are on.
Refer to the LED tables in the "System
Monitoring" section for interpretation and
recommended actions.
Remove the component from the chassis
and inspect the pins on the component and
inside the chassis. Do not reinstall if pins
on either component are damaged, as this
could damage pins on other components.
Replace the parts as required.
Ensure that the device has power and
the component is firmly seated. If the
problem continues, enter the sensorShow
command to determine the component
status. If the component is a CP blade or
port blade, enter the slotShow command
to determine the status.
Replace the component as necessary.
Ensure that the serial port activity remains
below specified amount.
Ensure that the Ethernet traffic remains
below specified amount
Enter the tempshow and sensorShow
commands to check internal temperature.
If components are overheating, shut down
port blades as necessary to return the
temperature to operating range. Also try
moving the blades in the chassis because
it is possible that airflow might not be
adequate to cool everything in certain
configurations.
Enter the sensorShow command to
check the internal temperature readings.
If components are overheating, shut down
port blades as necessary to return the
temperature readings to the operating
ranges. Also try moving the blades in the
