Operating the HP Surestore FC 1Gb/2Gb Switch 16B

Maintaining the Switch

The FC 16B does not require any regular physical maintenance, and is designed to minimize the
chance of failure, including diagnostic tests and field-replaceable units.
Diagnostic Tests
Diagnostic tests are provided to help troubleshoot the hardware and the firmware. The diagnostic
tests provided on the switch include tests of internal connections and circuitry, fixed media, and any
SFP modules and fiber optic cables in use. 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, as well as the attached SFP and cable.
All diagnostic tests are run at link speeds of both 1 Gbps and 2 Gbps. For information about the
specific diagnostic tests and how to run them, refer to the Fabric OS Procedures Guide.
Note:
3-6
The transmit and receive speed of the links may be temporarily locked to a specific speed
during diagnostic testing.
