    Maintaining the Brocade 5100 Installing an SFP The Brocade 5100 only supports Brocade-branded SFPs. If you use an unqualified SFP, the switchShow command output shows the port in a Mod_Inv state. Fabric OS also logs the issue in the system error log. Complete the following steps to install an SFP.

  • Page 35: Field Replaceable Units (Frus)

    Maintaining the Brocade 5100 The tests are implemented by command, either through a Telnet session or through a terminal set up for a serial connection to the switch. Some tests require the ports to be connected by external cables, to allow diagnostics to verify the serializer/deserializer interface, transceiver, and cable. Some tests require loopback plugs.

    Managing the Brocade 5100 2. Use one of the following methods to determine whether a fan requires replacement: • Check the system status LED (see Figure 4 on page 18 for location of system status LED). If the system status LED is flashing amber and green, it could mean the fan has failed. The green power supply/fan LED will also flash in the event of failure.
