Brocade VDX 6730 Operation
In this chapter
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 LED colors are either green or amber. See
and
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.

on page 30 for details on LED behavior.
One bicolor system status LED (green and amber) on the port side.
One power status LED (green) on the port side.
Two Ethernet management port LEDs (green) for the Ethernet management port. The two
LEDs show the status of the port link and the port activity.
One bicolor port status LED (green and amber) for each port on the switch. These LEDs are
arrayed above each pair of Ethernet ports on the Brocade VDX 6730-32 and below each pair
on the Brocade VDX 6730-76. The left LED corresponds to the upper port of the pair and the
right LED corresponds to the lower port.
One power supply LED (green) to the left of the AC power plug on each power supply on the
non-port side of the switch on the Brocade VDX 6730-76.
One bicolor fan status LED (green and amber) at the bottom of each fan assembly on the
non-port side of the switch on the Brocade VDX 6730-76.
One power supply and fan assembly LED (green) above the AC power switch on each combined
power supply and fan assembly on the non-port side of the switch on the Brocade VDX
6730-32.
