1.13 ECOMODE and Lamp Test

1.13.1 Introduction
The SBx3112-00 has a "green" energy savings mode called ECOMODE that is activated by the user either via a
front-panel ECO mode switch or by CLI command. While ECO mode is on, the system removes power to all
LEDs on the CFCs (except for the master/slave LED) and all port LEDs on the service modules. ECO mode has
no effect on the LEDs on the fan tray, the PSUs and the optocouplers on the back of the chassis.
Following is an example output for the SHOW SYSTEM ECOMODE. It simply toggles between the modes.
SHOW SYSTEM ECOMODE
Info (038019): System ECOMODE is set to OFF
SET SYSTEM ECOMODE=ON
Info (010017): Operation Successful
SHOW SYSTEM ECOMODE
Info (038019): System ECOMODE is set to ON

1.13.2 ECO Functions and Lamp Test

The system retains its ECO mode status in the configuration database, so the mode survives power cycles and
software restarts. The default ECO mode is off; i.e., all LEDs are enabled. The user can set the ECO mode via
SET SYSTEM ECOMODE ON/OFF command, and query it via the SHOW SYSTEM ECOMODE or SHOW
SYSTEM commands. The text configuration files generated by BACKUP/SHOW CONFIG contain the set com-
mand for the ECO mode.
The ECO mode switch toggles the current ECO mode. So if the system is not in ECO mode, pushing the ECO
mode switch is the same as typing SET SYSTEM ECOMODE ON. Once in ECO mode, pushing the ECO mode
switch is the same as typing SET SYSTEM ECOMODE OFF. Although both CFCs have the ECO mode switch on
the faceplate, only the ECO switch on the active CFC controls ECO mode, the inactive CFC ECO switch has
no effect on the system.
The ECO mode switch/command is also used for LED lamp test. Lamp test is the opposite of ECO mode, in
that all LEDs are illuminated for a brief period. Unlike ECO mode, lamp test is not a persisted state for the
LEDs. Lamp test is performed automatically by entering or exiting ECO mode.
Specifically, LED behavior for ECOMODE and lamp test is as follows, and is initiated by either:
Pressing an holding the ECO mode switch
•
Entering the SET SYSTEM ECOMODE=ON or SET SYSTEM ECOMODE=OFF
•
When entering ECO mode (mode transition from OFF to ON), all applicable LEDs will illuminate in alternat-
ing colors for 3 seconds (effectively a lamp test), then turn OFF
