Steady green
Fan assembly is operating normally.
Steady amber
Fan fault for one of the following reasons:
(for more
• A fan assembly with mismatched airflow is
than 5
seconds)
• One or more of the fans in the fan assembly
Note: The SAN128B-7 device requires minimum of two fan assemblies to be functional. Up to one fan
assembly failure is supported.

Interpreting the POST results

Each time the switch is powered on, rebooted, or reset, the switch performs a power-on self-test (POST).
Total boot time with the POST can be several minutes. The POST can be omitted after subsequent reboots
by using the fastboot command or entering the diagDisablePost command to persistently disable
the POST. The success or failure results of the diagnostic tests that run during POST can be monitored
through LED activity, the error log, or the command line interface. During the POST, the LEDs flash
different colors.
The POST includes the following tasks:
• Conducts preliminary POST diagnostics.
