Mic Port State Display Lights - HP NetServer AA 6200 Administrator's Manual

MIC Port State Display Lights

Each IOP collects and displays the status of its local MIC ports along with the status of the CE
MIC ports connected through the fiber. CE status is relayed to the IOP with the assistance of
MIC firmware; therefore, the CE port status is only available after the CE MIC BIOS has set
its ports to a software-enabled state.
The following table explains the MIC port state lights displayed on the MIC's graphical display
in the Endurance Manager window.

Description
The MIC hardware is successfully sending and receiving
fiber signals through the fiber connector.
The MIC port has detected a break in communication over
the path, which may be caused by a fiber disconnection or
a failure in the transmitters or receivers associated with
this path. This light does not indicate which end of the
path may have failed and does not imply that the MIC
reporting this state is broken.
The MIC port at the opposite end of the cable has
detected a local DC-low condition (power loss).
The MIC port at the opposite end of the cable has
detected a PCI bus reset.
This state occurs only on CE MIC ports. It indicates that,
from the IOP's perspective, no information about the state
of this port has been received. Normally the CE MIC
firmware relays the local port status to the IOP MICs. This
does not occur, however, until the CE MICs are powered
on and able to establish communication.
The MIC hardware has not sensed any fiber signals
through the fiber connector since the IOP or CE has
booted.
